The Europeans Don’t Trust Us
European trust in the United States is declining, with many countries now viewing America as a potential threat. This shift is evidenced by Norway and other nations seeking French nuclear protection instead of relying on the U.S. Additionally, European governments are moving away from American tech giants to reduce dependence and enhance digital sovereignty.
- ▪Norway became the ninth European country to sign up for French nuclear protection due to faltering trust in U.S. reliability.
