Donald Trump Decouples the United States From the European Union
Contrary to what we thought in 1991, the fall of the “American Empire” will not resemble that of the USSR. Washington’s Western European allies intend to perpetuate it, with or without their leader. It follows that President Donald Trump will abandon them in the cold.
