(Latest update: 23 August 2022) Transatlantic relations refer to the historic, cultural, political, economic and social relations between countries on both side of the Atlantic Ocean. Sometimes specifically those between the United States, Canada and the countries in Europe, although other meanings are possible. There are a number of issues over which the United States and Europe generally disagree. Some of these are cultural, such as the U.S. use of the death penalty, some are international issues such as the Middle East peace process where the United States is often seen as pro-Israel and where Europe is often seen as pro-Arab (Arab–Israeli conflict), and many others are trade related. The current U.S. policies are often described as being unilateral in nature, whereas the European Union and Canada are often said to take a more multilateral approach, relying more on the United Nations and other international institutions to help solve issues. There are many other issues upon which they agree. This article refers to the relations between the EU (Culture of Europe, Economy of the European Union, History of Europe, and Politics of the European Union) and the USA (Culture of the United States, Economy of the United States, History of the United States, and Politics of the United States).

Introduction
Transatlantic relations, as part of the post-war order after WWII, led to significant economic growth, democratization, freedom and peace in the West (G7). All who participated, including the later EU, benefited from it. By the election of the 45th US President (The Washington Post, 27 May 2018: Trump may be the worst presidential dealmaker in modern history), this order is now massively disrupted and threatens to remain damaged at least in the medium term. The remaining G6+1 (The Washington Post, 10 June 2018: Trump turns the G-7 into the G-6 vs. G-1) will continue to adhere to existing principles, rules and guidelines (World Trade Organization). However, it is questionable whether this will and can succeed without the US, when the other two major power blocs, the US and China, not only work against it, but pursue active, nationalistic isolation and protection policies.


Free Trade
While #45 (Iron Maiden: Can I Play With MadnessMadman Theory as part of the Game Theory) complains about supposedly unfair US product access to the EU and Germany’s supposedly unfair trade volume to the US, let’s take a look at the facts: One of #45’s first official acts was to stopp TTIP (Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership), an agreement that was meant to completely abolish all tariffs and access difficulties between the US and the EU. After that happened, #45 in all seriousness began to tell the fairy tale about “unfair conditions”, conditions that he himself actively supports and upholds by his own actions. Of course, a “TTIP Light” (no tariffs on industrial goods, etc.) would be possible as well, but even this alternative is been rejected by the “experts” of the US administration. In the meantime, a trade agreement has been signed between Mexico and the EU, and a free trade agreement (CETA) has been signed between Canada and the EU (European Union free trade agreements). The JEFTA (Japan-EU Free Trade Agreement) is scheduled to come into force in 2019 (BBC, 17 July 2018: EU signs its biggest free trade deal with Japan). A free trade agreement with the South American Mercosur is in preparation. Similar negotiations are underway with Australia and New Zealand. The EU’s approach to China is on the way, too. #45 dealt with the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) in the same way as with TTIP, while TPP was meant in particular to contain China’s activities in the Pacific region. This hasn’t worked out by active and own action of #45, while at the same time the US President now tell the fairy tale about allegedly unfair trading conditions in China (in the core, he is right by mistake and for the wrong reasons). Meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has ensured that TPP continues (CPTPP – Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership) even without the US. It’s not even possible to clarify fact-resistent # 45, that 70% of foreign direct investments in the US come from the EU and now provides 7 million jobs for Americans, in opposite to the 5 million jobs created by US direct investment in the EU. Even his narrow view of the transatlantic trade can at best be described as “uninformed”. While it is true that the US has a deficit of $ 153 billion in goods with the EU, it generates a surplus of $ 157 billion in services and corporate profits. In Trump’s “logic”, the US owes the EU at least $ 4 billion annually or in his words “The USA is treating the EU very unfairly. We see the EU as a piggy bank, that we are robbing off again and again. This has to stop. God and my German grandfather, great deal makers and the two awesome founders of the fantastic United States of America, doesn’t want us to rob anyone.” Germany’s alleged unfair trade volume with the United States corresponds to the share of US corporate investments in Germany. So, if you want to reduce trade volume, then of course, corporate investments need to be reduced to the same extent. This would #45 certainly like that much, that his Twitter account might explode. Much more simple-minded, fatuous, unprofessional and incompetent, a US president (and probably the most frequently sued New Yorker of all times) can neither talk, act nor tweet.

That #45 is serious about the isolation of the US can be seen at the US Department of State, which is in a state of disrepair since early January. After taking over the presidency by #45, a large number of executives (including ambassadors – Bloomberg, 2 February 2018: At Trump’s State Department, Eight of Ten Top Jobs Are Empty) have canceld their jobs or were sacked, if they didn’t agree with #45’s agenda. With them, a lot of very special know-how and a large number of contacts went south. To this day, the vacancies aren’t filled so that serious US foreign policy can only take place on a small scale (mainly at night on Twitter). It will take years to replenish and revive the gaps that have been torn.

The tariffs already imposed and announced suggest that the “experts” of the current US administration have never heard of global production and supply chains, and will be very surprised when the punitive measures and access difficulties to the US market will finally hit them (The Washington Post, 31 May 2018: Trump imposes steel and aluminum tariffs on the E.U., Canada and Mexico, BBC, 1 June 2018: US tariffs a dangerous game, says EU, NPR, 1 June 2018: U.S. Steel And Aluminum Tariffs Are ‘Illegal,’ EU Trade Commissioner Says, Reuters, 1 June 2018: Moment of truth arrives for EU after U.S. tariffs strike, DW, 1 June 2018: As US tariffs go into effect, Europe, Canada and Mexico strike back and The New York Times, 25 June 2018: Harley-Davidson, Blaming E.U. Tariffs, Will Move Some Production Out of U.S.). It will contribute to the generally good transatlantic mood, that from July 2018 on, the EU countermeasures (Reuters, 6 June 2018: EU plans to hit U.S. imports with duties from July) to #45’s special tariffs will go into effect. They will hit those US states in particular, which will be important to Republicans during the primaries in early November 2018 (France24.com, 9 June 2018: Trump demands ‘no tariffs’ while defending steel, aluminum tariffs on US imports at G7, BBC, 9 June 2018: G7: Trump isolated over trade and Russia on first day, BBC, 9 June 2018: G7 commits to ‘rules-based trading system’ despite tensions with US, The New York Times, 9 June 2018: Trump Invitation to Russia Deepens Rift With America’s Allies, The New York Times, 9 June 2018: Trump Says U.S. Will No Longer Be ‘Piggy Bank That Everybody’s Robbing’, The Guardian, 10 June 2018: G7 in disarray after Trump rejects communique and attacks ‘weak’ Trudeau, The New York Times, 10 June 2018: Trump Refuses to Sign G-7 Statement and Calls Trudeau ‘Weak’, The Washington Post, 10 June 2018: European leaders are outraged by Trump over G-7 statement. But they’re not surprised., BBc, 10 June 2018: G7 summit: War of words erupts between US and key allies, CNN, 10 June 2018: McCain to allies: ‘Americans stand with you, even if our president doesn’t’, Senator Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader, has his own view: Are we executing Putin’s diplomatic and national security strategy or AMERICA’s diplomatic and national security strategy?, The New York Times, 10 June 2018: Trump Tries to Destroy the West, The New York Times, 10 June 2018: Escalating Clash With Canada, Trump Is Isolated Before North Korea Meeting, The Washington Post, 6 June 2018: Schumer seeks Obama’s help for Senate Democrats in midterm elections, Deutsche Welle, 13 June 2018: Germany’s answer to ‘America First’ is ‘Europe United’, Project Syndicate, written by Guy Verhofstadt: Why “America First” Means “Europe United”, Reuters, 14 June 2018: EU nations back retaliating against U.S. steel tariffs, Haaretz, 12 June 2018: If You Boycott Israel, Shouldn’t You Boycott Trump’s America as Well? (The New York Times, 24 April 2019: Would Any Atrocity Turn Off Investors to Saudi Arabia?), The Guardian, 9 July 2018: Liberal Europe isn’t dead yet. But its defenders face a long, hard struggle, Politico.com, 16 April 2019: U.S. to announce tough policy on businesses in Cuba, France24, 17 April 2019: EU, Canada reject Trump’s Cuba sanctions policy and DW, 17 April 2019: New US policy on seized property in Cuba threatens EU ties (the funny thing is that Cuban exiles from the US have invested huge sums of dollars in Cuba with the help of Cuban middlemen, primarily in real estate. So, this shot is likely to end up in the foot of the US president. The Palestinians will be happy to note the Trump administration’s decision, as it will open the way for them to seek compensation for expropriation from Israel. The “stable genius” Donnie, once again, did a great job)). As a countermeasure to his own punitive tariffs, Trump now focuses on socialism in the US and provides subsidies to farmers. If only the Republicans knew, as “socialism” is to them what “hell” is for religious Christians: Politico, 24 July 2018: Trump to offer farmers $12B in trade aid. At least higher tariffs on cars seems to be off the table for the moment, even though they might be back on the table after the midterm elections: Politico, Trump isolated in his push for tariffs on foreign cars, Reuters, 11 December 2019: Revamped USMCA allows Mexico to bring labour complaints in U.S. – Mexican official, BBC, 11 December 2019: USMCA: Agreement reached on Nafta trade deal replacement, Reuters, 11 December 2019: JPMorgan’s Dimon endorses trade deal, tackles central bank measures.


Iran
In the dispute over the Iran deal, the EU has now come a step further to protect small and medium-sized EU companies that are not active in the US business but want to do business in Iran – and there are surprisingly many of them given. The European Commission has created a protection mechanism against US sanctions and has authorized the European Investment Bank to carry out payment transactions. By contrast, large companies and corporations can not benefit from the protection mechanism (National Review, 28 August 2017: How to Get Out of the Iran Nuclear Deal, The New York Times, 23 May 2018: Deep in the Desert, Iran Quietly Advances Missile Technology, Haaretz, 31 May 2018: Ex-Mossad Chief Says He Questioned Legality of Netanyahu’s Order to Prepare Iran Strike, NBC News, 14 July 2018: U.S. refuses European requests for exemptions from its new sanctions on Iran, Reuters, 11 December 2018: German exports to Iran soar ahead of U.S. sanctions, Newsweek, 13 December 2018: Trump’s Iran Sanctions Create a Triple Threat to the West, The Washington Post, 9 January 2019: Already reeling from tariff war, some farmers aren’t receiving government support checks amid shutdown, The Guardian, 31 January 2019: Europe sets up scheme to get round US sanctions on Iran, Bloomberg, 31 January 2019: Europe Protects Itself From Trump’s Caprice, The New York Times, 31 January 2019: 3 European Nations Create Firm to Trade With Iran, but Will Anyone Use It?, European Comission: Iran, Instex (AP News, 8 August 2019: Designated Head of Europe-Iran Trade Entity Won’t Take Job, Jerusalem Post, 8 August 2019: German Ambassador se to run EU-Iran trade resigns, linked to Holocaust denier), Foreign Policy, 13 February 2019: Iran’s Economy Is Crumbling, but Collapse Is a Long Way Off, France 24, 22 February 2019: Iran is holding up its end of nuclear deal, shows IAEA report, Times of Israel, 22 February 2019: UN nuclear watchdog say Iran staying within limits of 2015 deal, The Guardian, 15 March 2019: US to deny visas for ICC members investigating alleged war crimes, The Washington Post, 15 March 2019: U.S. will not give visas to employees of the International Criminal Court (a full admission of guilt can not be formulated much clearer), Times of Israel, 6 April 2019: US said set to declare Iran’s Revolutionary Guards as terrorist group, France24, 8 April 2019: US designates Iran’s Revolutionary Guards a ‘terrorist organisation’, The New York Times, 8 April 2019: Trump Designates Iran’s Revolutionary Guard a Foreign Terrorist Group, Jerusalem Post, 8 April 2019: Netanyahu praises Trump for putting Iran’s Revolutionary Guards on terror list, Times of Israel, 8 April 2019: Netanyahu says Trump designated Iran Guards a terror group at his request, The New York Times, 22 April 2019: U.S. Moves to Stop All Nations From Buying Iranian Oil, BBC, 22 April 2019: Iran oil: US to end sanctions exemptions for major importers, Reuters, 22 April 2019: U.S. to end all waivers on Iran oil imports, crude price jumps, Jerusalem Post, 22 April 2019: Netanyahu lauds Trump decision to eleminate Iran oil waivers, Times of Israel, 22 April 2019: Iran threatens to close Strait of Hormuz after US ends sanction waivers, France24, 23 April 2019: US sanctions over Iran oil will ‘intensify Mideast turmoil’: China, Times of Israel, 24 April 2019: Iran threatens ‘consequences’ if US takes ‘crazy measure’ of blocking oil sales, Times of Israel, 25 April 2019: Zarif accuses Netanyahu and Saudis of trying to provoke US into war with Iran, The Guardian, 24 April 2019: Iran will continue to defy US oil sanctions, says Tehran (Netanyahu and Trump (The New York Times, 9 July 2019: Who Is a Bigger Threat to His Democracy: Bibi or Trump?) obviously want to drive Iran to self-defense actions and then, of course, once again, mendacious and hypocritical as both are, cry into the cameras that Iran would have to take full responsibility for it. Netanyahu and Trump apparently assume that the rest of the world is just as limited in their ability to think as they are themselves. At any rate, they are closer to their goal of imposing war on Iran than ever before (2020 United States presidential election, Rally ’round the flag effect, United States sanctions against Iran, The Guardian, 6 May 2019: US deploys aircraft carrier and bombers after ‘troubling indications’ from Iran, gunboat diplomacy, psychological warfare, BBC, 6 May 2019: US sends aircraft carrier and bomber task force to ‘warn Iran’, France24, 8 May 2019: Iran nuclear deal: what happens now?, The Guardian, 8 May 2019: Trump’s antics over Iran have endangered us all.

It remains to be seen what the simpletons Netanyahu and Trump will come up next with to reach their goal in any case. Again, it is obvious that Iran is playing “3D chess“, while Netanyahu and Trump are just able to play “Mensch ärgere Dich nicht“. Read more about the topic in the article Arab–Israeli and Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

It appears to be time to take countermeasures against Netanyahu’s Israel and Trump’s US to get compensation for the damage caused by the two countries in the EU, and of course to make it clear that the EU will not allow the two hasardeurs Netanyahu and Trump to endager the EU’s very own interests and security. If Netanyahu had actually assumed that the EU would allow to be drawn into his shabby game, then he has once again made a serious mistake. At the same time, it is becoming increasingly clear that Israel’s membership in the EU is ruled out, since the goals are completely opposite and there remains only a little common basis of values, especially as the already fragile Israeli democracy collapses further and further through measures taken by the Likud. Israel, however, adapting more and more to the customs in neighboring countries, which of course is an unequivocal statement itself. It will be interesting to see how this renewed escapade of the two protagonists will additionally negatively affect foreign direct investment in the USA and Israel), Hawala, Remittance, Economy of Iran, Germany–Iran relations and Iran–European Union relations).

The next bomb exploded on June 27, 2018, when it became known that the duo Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump will once again try to take the global economy hostage for their crude destroying fantasies towards Iran. Starting on November 4, 2018, those companies and countries (China is the largest buyer of Iranian oil, followed by the EU), which continue to import oil from Iran, will face US sanctions. Apart from the fact that the US will shoot itself in the foot, the step will certainly not increase the sympathy values for and the willingness to foreign investment in Israel and the United States. Should the economic situations of both countries change in the near future, which can be assumed, they can not only hope for appropriately amused reactions from the Arab world. As with the first round of US sanctions on Iran, following the unilateral termination of the Iran deal by #45, the second round now means for the EU to seek again for banks that this time can handle the oil business with Iran. A prerequisite for the selection is to do little or no business in the US and therefore be able to laugh about possible sanctions. As with the first round, the EU will not be able to cope with the risk of default of large companies and corporations, especially since their international business usually includes considerable US business volumes. At the same time, countermeasures against the US must again be planned (e.g., complete suspension of liquefied gas and oil trade), and measures against Israel’s Trump whisperers should be considered as well. The current attempt is the 1:1 takeover of a confused Netanyahu plan to initially destabilize Iran economically and then attack the country militarily. This background given, the question once again arises, how Berlin could be that naive to hand over nuclear first-strike weapon systems (Dolphin class) to Israel. Another side effect is, e.g., that for example, several investors who have just invested large amounts of money in Iran have had to swiftly liquidate their US investments in order to re-finance the investments in Iran (and have to write them off, given the expected economic developments in Iran) in order to not become subject to US sanctions. A gigantic destruction of capital that has already begun even before the sanctions have been put into effect. It can be expected that US sanctions will not lead to companies investing more in the US or Israel instead. Given the loss of confidence in both administrations, the reverse is likely to be the case (CNBC, 26 June 2018: Oil buyers must cut all Iranian crude imports by November, State Dept says, The Guardian, 5 July 2018: Iran threatens to block Strait of Hormuz over US oil sanctions, The Guardian, 6 August 2018: EU acts to protect firms from Donald Trump’s sanctions against Iran, The New York Times, 6 August 2018: U.S. to Restore Sanctions on Iran After Withdrawal From Nuclear Deal, The Washington Post, 6 August 2018: U.S. moves to restore some Iran sanctions lifted under nuclear deal, CNN, 6 August 2018: Iran’s president says he’ll talk to Trump “right now”, The New York Times, 6 August 2018: U.S. to Restore Sanctions on Iran, Deepening Divide With Europe Politico, 6 August 2018: EU vows to thwart Trump’s sanctions on Iran, The Guardian, 7 August 2018: Trade with Iran and you won’t trade with US, Trump warns, The Washington Post, 7 August 2018: Trump is the president the Founding Fathers feared, The Guardian, 7 August 2018: EU foreign policy chief calls on firms to defy Trump over Iran, Bloomberg, 11 August 2018: U.S.-Iran Sanctions Give China Lead in World’s Biggest Gas Field, Reuters, 27 August 2018: World Court hears Iran lawsuit to have U.S. sanctions lifted, The Washington Post, 3 December 2018: Trump’s not winning anything, anywhere, The New York Times, 4 December 2018: German Carmakers Head to Washington, Hoping to Dodge Tariffs by Offering Jobs, The New York Times, 4.

Trade Disputes
Tariffs are one thing, arbitrary controls of foreign investors and their investments the other (The New York Times, 5 March 2018: Cfius, Powerful and Unseen, Is a Gatekeeper on Major Deals, with exceptions: The New York Times, 28 May 2018: Ivanka Trump Wins China Trademarks, Then Her Father Vows to Save ZTE (The Guardian, 24 July 2018: Ivanka Trump to close fashion brand amid consumer backlash) – The New York Times, 28 April 2017: White House of Grifters, The New York Times, 2 February 2018: Trump’s Corruption of the American Republic, and Vice, 14 May 2018: Trump’s Rampant Corruption Will Actually Hurt Him Soon). Entrepreneurial activity is now associated with unpredictable risks for foreign investors. The nepotism exercised by #45 and his frontrunners, while a highlight of Central African government work, is absolutely unworthy of the work of a US administration (The Guardian, 2 June 2018: Donald Trump and the erosion of Democratic norms in America). The hard work of US President Barack Obama over the years to build trust in the US again, which was desperately needed after Bush Juniors presidency, has #45 completely lost within weeks and probably permanently damaged, especially since there is no reason to assume that one can trust in any statement of the actual US administration, except for one: The US administration will not stick to any agreement. After all, the EU has learned how to deal with it, because the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and the unofficial Polish Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński (and others) have been acting in exactly the same way for years.


Politics
Of course, the European public has long since become accustomed to Putin, Erdoğan and Netanyahu trolls. Now just Trump trolls are added. The Trump troll and redneck, who has recently been appointed US ambassador to Germany, has a considerable amount of right-wing scrutiny, Richard Grenell (Der Spiegel, 11 January 2019: Isolated in Berlin: Trump’s Ambassador Finds Few Friends in Germany and DW, 19 March 2019: Germany: US ambassador Richard Grenell should be expelled, says FDP deputy leader), who recently caused an uproar in an interview with the British offshoot of the US Internet platform Breitbart (CNN, 5 June 2018: US Ambassador to Germany provokes backlash with Breitbart interview, USA Today, 4 June 2018: U.S. Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell wants to ’empower’ Europe’s right and Politico Europe, 5 June 2018: German politicians call on US to withdraw ambassador), the American counterpart to the German Der Stürmer, because his actions are completely against international diplomatic practice. Previously, he had already got in hot water because of his comments about #45’s one-sided termination of the Iran Deal (The Washington Post, 5 June 2018: The U.S. ambassador in Germany flies the Trumpist flag and Bloomberg, 9 May 2018: Trump’s Ambassador to Germany Stokes Furor Over Iran Just One Day Into Job). Within a very short time he lowered US diplomacy in Germany to junk-level and brought it on par with Russia’s “diplomacy”. He could not express more clearly that he a) is just as incompetent as his employer and b) a large part of his potential conversation partners will reduce contacts to the minimum. Thanks for that, after all, because the time gained in this way can finally be put to good use elsewhere. The second wellknown Trump troll is the former Breitbart editor and right-wing extremist Steve Bannon, who, hand in hand with Grenell, wants to mobilize the European far right weirdos to merge them into a European Alt-Right movement (HetNieuweInstituut.nl – Steve_Bannon: A Propaganda Retrospective, The Washington Post, 13 March 2018: In Europe, Steve Bannon can still play the hero, Politico Magazine, March/April 2017: The Man Who Wants to Unmake the West, The Guardian, 21 April 2018: Sharks, zealots and the apocalypse: welcome to Steve Bannon’s movie world, The Guardian, 6 May 2018: Steve Bannon is on a far-right mission to radicalise Europe, The Guardian, 6 June 2018: Steve Bannon is on a far-right mission to radicalise Europe, n+1, 18 June 2018: The Globalist: George Soros after the open society, The Daily Beast, 20 July 2018: Hellfire Club: Inside Bannon’s Plan to Hijack Europe for the Far-Right and Deutsche Welle, 23 July 2018: German politicians allied against Steve Bannon (Daily Beast, 28 March 2019: ‘The Brink’ Exposes Steve Bannon as a Fascist Fraud, Haaretz, 22 April 2019: Steve Bannon’s Fascist Far Right Christian Army Is Marching on Liberal Europe – and on the Pope, France24, 20 August 2020: Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon arrested for fraud linked to funding Mexican border wall, The Guardian, 20 August 2020: Steve Bannon arrested and charged with fraud over border wall campaign, The New York Times, 20 August 2020: Trumpism Is a Racket, and Steve Bannon Knew It, CNN, 20 August 2020: Steve Bannon charged with fraud in border wall campaign, CNN, 22 August 2020: What Steve Bannon bust reveals about ‘building the wall’, The Guardian, 23 August 2020: Steve Bannon: Ex-Trump adviser ‘in a world of trouble’, says James Comey, The Washington Post, 23 August 2020: How a veteran’s idea to solicit donations for a border wall won over Trump supporters — and produced conspiracy charges, The Atlantic, 30 August 2020: The Truth About Steve Bannon). It will become interesting and at the same time extremely funny for observers, when the nationalists of the EU states will be confronted with the reality, like the German Interior Minister Horst Seehofer and his CSU supporters Markus Söder, Andreas Scheuer and Alexander Dobrindt recently experienced together with the right-wing populists from Austria and Italy and their laughable “axis of the willing” (which triggered a coalition crisis in Germany because of five to ten immigrants per day, and is expected to cost the CSU the state elections in Bavaria). Nationalism works only in its own national state and excludes success across several national states by definition. It can only work within the EU if the EU itself is understood as a national state, so that an EU nationalism can evolve to find common, sustainable and viable solutions. However, Europe’s nationalists can’t think in such a dimension). While one can only be astonished as an observer about with what incredible impudence foreign and obviously (constitutional) hostile minded forces can spread their hatred across Europe undisturbed by state powers, the situation for the German right wingers (AfD, NPD, Pegida, Identitäre, Reichsbürger and so on), the Putin cheerleaders, is a real challenge to them, especially since they no longer know whether they should pray three times a day towards the Kremlin or instead now better towards the White House and therefore yowle subservient and precautionary in both directions.


Free Press
After Trump’s endless, baseless and disgusting “Fake News” lies against the free US press and thus as an attack on the freedom of press in general, the US press is now resisting: Miami Herald, 15 August 2018: President Trump, we’re not ‘enemies of the people.’ End your war on our free press, The New York Times, 15 August 2018: A Free Press Needs You and The Guardian, 16 August 2018: Almost 350 news outlets to publish editorials denouncing Trump’s ‘dirty war’ on press. In fact, the current most prominent US “Fake News” outlets besides Fox News are the White House Press Service and the US President’s Twitter account: Reuters, 16 August 2018: Senate adopts resolution backing free press after Trump attacks, The Wall Street Journal, 24 October 2019: Trump to Tell Federal Agencies to Cut New York Times, Washington Post Subscriptions, The Guardian, 24 October 2019: White House to federal agencies: cancel New York Times and Washington Post subscriptions, The New York Times, 24 October 2019: Trump Cancels Subscriptions to The New York Times and The Washington Post, NPR, 2 December 2019: Putin Approves Law Labeling Journalists ‘Foreign Agents’ In Russia, BBC, 3 December 2019: Russia to label individuals as ‘foreign agents’ under new law, The Guardian, 3 December 2019: Putin approves law targeting journalists as ‘foreign agents’, CNN, 16 December 2019: Boris Johnson may go after the BBC’s funding, The New York Times, 16 December 2019: With Echoes of Trump, Boris Johnson Scorns the BBC, Al Arabiya, 7 March 2020: The New York Times, Washington Post, now CNN: Trump campaign files third lawsuit, The New York Times, 30 May 2020: A Reporter’s Cry on Live TV: ‘I’m Getting Shot! I’m Getting Shot!’, CNN, 31 May 2020: Journalists covering protests face assault and arrest, DW, 1 June 2020: US attack on press freedom gains supporters, The Guardian, 5 June 2020: ‘I’m getting shot’: attacks on journalists surge in US protests, France24, 6 June 2020: More than 140 journalists have been arrested or attacked by law enforcement during US protests, The Guardian, 8 June 2020: ‘Denigrated and discredited’: how American journalists became targets during protests.


EU and USA
Of course, given the strong links between the EU and the US, it is clear that the US will in principle continue to be a strategic partner. In any case, transatlantic relations, especially below the level of government, will scarcely be irritated beyond a certain period of time (shared ancestry, values, art, culture, society, democracy, freedom, economy, trade etc. – for fans of the United States and transatlantics alike or in personal union, it is of course always painful to watch US Presidents like George W. Bush or Donald Trump damaging the integrity and international appeal of the United States on a daily basis, only to serve single interests. In America, such behavior (individual interests before national interests) is named “un-American”, unless, of course, it comes from the far right, for whom, as is well known, laws, contracts and agreements do not apply (they at least claim for themselves) until proven otherwise. After all, it is at the latest certain that after two terms in office, the spook will be over for a while and the United States and the rest of the world can gain time to recover from the devastations caused. But when putting the incompetent, corrupt, criminal, racist, small minded, unsuccessful Republican Trump administration and politics in general aside, then you have a country with an incredible cultural diversity (in the New York borough of Queens there are people with over 180 nationalities alone who, through their diversity, contribute to what characterizes and is New York, namely the capital of the world ), with sometimes dramatically beautiful landscapes and cities that have been among the super coolest places on the planet for years, which generate by far the most creative ideas, innovations and trends worldwide and are mostly inhabited by liberal, cosmopolitan, friendly people. You have to make a lot of effort not to be enthusiastic about it and not to be magically attracted to it. However, when looking at the political playground, it is much easier to identify weaknesses and problems. Europe owes a lot to the United States, especially after the two world wars. Conversely, America would not exist today without European settlers. So we are connected and interwoven in many ways and at different levels. Trump cannot change that permanently, even if he tries hard, by ensuring from the very beginning of his term in office that there was no international trust in him and his administration at any time and that this also damaged basic trust in the United States, especially since the Trump government behave like that of any other rogue state. Only the future will show how sustainable the damage caused will be for international relations. There were always great upsets between the two sides, which in the end could all be overcome. This will also be the case after the total failure in the White House has left office. However, there will probably not a “back to normal”, as was the case before Trump took office, but there will be closer cooperations again. Change can start quickly (President Tweety voted out of office in November 2020) or take four more long years to come, but it will come. The Trumps of the world come and go. Sometimes they leave chaos and burned bridges, but ultimately there is nothing that cannot be repaired. In this sense: The United States: Bon appétit! and The United States: Bon voyage! (Die Zeit, 20 February 2017: Transatlantic relations: Yankee Goes Home, Atlantic Council, 15 March 2018: A Storm is Brewing in Transatlantic Relations, Carnegie Europe, 5 July 2019: Can Ursula Von Der Leyen Save the Transatlantic Relationship?). Although tourism numbers and the sum of foreign direct investment are declining, these indicators will recover in the post-Trump period, although it shouldn’t be assumed that a successor will make a 180° political turn (Pax Americana), especially as some of #45’s crude theses and theories are well received by the Democrats (New York Magazine, 6 August 2018: In 2008, America Stopped Believing in the American Dream), but it can probably be assumed that the inability of #45 will not be exceeded (if things continue as they have been under #45, he will actually not only easily replace Richard Nixon but even Andrew Johnson as the most incapable US president of all times). But it is clear that the EU has to respond to the measures from Washington in a very clever way, as countermeasures will hit especially the US states, which are of great importance to the Republicans. In November 2018, the primaries will take place (Midterm Elections and The New York Times, 24 October 2018: Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama and CNN Offices Are Sent Pipe Bombs, so in general against the Democrats, and what does the President do? Of course, the Hater and Mobber in Chief is blaming others: The Guardian, 25 October 2018: Donald Trump attacks media ‘hostility’ after attempted pipe bombings, The New York Times, 25 October 2018: Pipe Bombs Sent to Biden and Robert De Niro, Latest in Wave of Explosives Sent to Trump Critics, The New York Times, 26 October 2018: Pipe Bomb Suspect Arrested in Florida; Criminal History Includes Bombing Threat, The Guardian, 26 October 2018: What the targeting of Trump critics reveals about America’s rotting core, The Guardian, 26 October 2018: Seth Meyers: ‘If you’re asking if Trump’s lying or stupid the answer is all of the above’ and The Guardian, 27 Ocotober 2018: Florida man charged with sending 13 pipe bombs to Trump critics). The transatlantic dispute doesn’t only delight Moscow, but also the anti-Americanists from the West, who regard the close transatlantic ties as a thorn in their side and therefore have always been looking to the east without being able to find alternative solutions there. People who think of Moscow or Beijing here, obviously didn’t deal enough with the basic data and the opposing social/society models (the democracy in the EU stands in clear and obvious opposition to the so-called “controlled democracy” in Russia under President Vladimir Putin, which in fact corresponds to an autocracy (in addition, the largest country in the world is an economic dwarf. The resulting, factually correct, but diplomatically unfortunate choice of words by US President Barack Obama, “Russia is a regional power”, has obviously violated the ego of the Russian tsar so much that he then decided that it has to be compensated by military (one of the very few strengths of Russia) expeditions in Ukraine and Western Asia), and in the People’s Republic of China under President Xi Jinping, according to its constitution “under the democratic dictatorship of the people”, but is governed since 1949 authoritarian by the Chinese Communist Party) – The New York Times, 8 August 2018:Trump’s Tariffs Are Changing Trade With China. Here Are 2 Emerging Endgames..


Results of Trump’s first 500 days in office


Impeachment I
Several times in the US, the initiation of an impeachment has been considered and discussed. The idea was rejected even after the Mueller report, but now Trump has probably overflowed the barrel, so that Nancy Pelosi has initiated the process:

Knowledge Gains
But part of the truth is that the EU and its member states poured water on # 45 mills. On the one hand, it provides little or no communication on services and accomplishments, while on the other hand, decades of military intrusion (The Washington Post, 28 June 2017: NATO allies boost defense spending in the wake of Trump criticism, Deutsche Welle, 13 February 2018: EU’s new defense union must not undermine NATO, warns Stoltenberg, Deutsche Welle, 08 July 2018: NATO chief: Germany must increase defense spending, The New York Times, 09 July 2018: Trump Poised to Enter NATO Meeting as Wild Card Among Allies, BBC, 09 July 2018: Trump-Nato summit: EU’s Tusk warns president to appreciate allies, The Guardian, 10 July 2018: Europeans brace for worst from Trump at stormy Nato summit, Bloomberg, 10 July 2018: Trump Is Itching for a Fight at NATO, The New York Times, 11 July 2018: NATO Summit Live Updates: Trump Pushes Allies to Increase Spending, CNN, 11 July 2018: NATO summit: Trump accuses Germany of being a ‘captive of Russia’, The Guardian, 11 July 2018: Angela Merkel hits back at Donald Trump at Nato summit, The New York Times, 11 July 2018: Trump vs. Merkel: Blistering Salvo Meets Gentle Rejoinder, The New York Times, 11 July 2018: Sorry, NATO. Trump Doesn’t Believe in Allies., The New York Times, 11 July 2018: What America Gets Out of NATO, The Washington Post, 11 July 2018: ‘Rubbing salt in the wounds’: Trump won’t take yes for an answer at NATO, The Washington Post, 11 July 2018: Trump berates NATO allies and then asks them to double their defense spending goals, The Guardian, 12 July 2018: Trump claims victory at Nato summit after fresh row over defence spending, The Washington Post, 12 July 2018: Trump’s latest lie at NATO blows up his idea of ‘winning’ and The New York Times, 12 July 2018: Live Updates: After Contentious NATO Summit, Trump Goes to U.K.) in the face of changing threats and the withdrawal of the US from relevant areas (the Middle East (except for Israel where the USA has taken over the role of a protective and guarantor power and maintain an air force base in the country) and North Africa) are becoming more and more an existential problem (the key question, which critics of the solution in particular have to face more and more often, is “What happens if we do not deploy the army, what are the risks and challenges and how could they be dealt with alternatively?” The answers are as sobering as they are enlightening, because there are no viable alternatives given. The earlier everyone realize this, the sooner we can start building the EU army). The latter has already been communicated several times under US President Barack Obama without the EU having reacted to it, so that today it is once again driven rather than acting in time (Trump, however, has misunderstood a lot here too, saying that some NATO members “owe money” to the US for failing to meet their self-imposed targets of 2% of GDP as a defense budget, which is of course utter nonsense. Even if the countries reach the 2% budget, the US weapon industry wouldn’t benefit, but European manufacturers only). This has a negative impact on a credible foreign policy, because without military relevance no the problems and challenges in the Levant and North Africa can be solved, especially not when the EU need to take over the role of the US (which isolates itself in breathtaking speed under #45, thereby marginalizing itself and thus endangering vital self-interests/the national security without necessity. In this case, the enemy of the US is sitting in the White House) because of pure self-interests in the regions and to pacify and contribute to an economic upturn in order to be able to curb future expected refugee flows, especially from Central Africa (Die Zeit, 17 November 2017: Transatlantic Relations: Superpower EU? No thank you!, The Guardian, 10 June 2018: Vladimir Putin says he is willing to meet Trump at summit, The Guardian, 10 June 2018: Macron is reviving France and calling Merkel’s bluff on European reform, The Guardian, 25 June 2018: Nine EU states sign off on joint military intervention force, New York Times, 14 January 2019: Trump discussed pulling U.S. from NATO, aides say amid new concerns over Russia, Washington Times, 5 July 2019: Joe Biden: There will be ‘no more NATO’ if Donald Trump is reelected, Jerusalem Post, 7 July 2019: NATO no more? Biden says Trump will lead to the organization’s implosion, The Guardian, 17 December 2019: Visiting the US? The government is reading your old Facebook posts).


2020 United States presidential election
The presidential elections will take place on 3 November 2020 (United States presidential election of 2016). We will cover the election campaign from the middle of 2020 on. As Trump is in a continuous election campaign mode since 2015 (except an enormous amount of hot air, he has achieved very little positive results), and the Democrats are just about to start their campaigns, it doens’t make sense to start the coverage earlier. Presidential elections are more entertainment events than factual and substantive issues or facts would play major roles. The Republicans have developed the last election campaign into a mud fight and are already continuing to do so with full force in this election. If you want to expose yourself to this, you have to spend as much time on it as in the observation of the news concerning the Mueller report, the Brexit and the impeachment proceedings against Trump – you really have to want it. In preparation for the elections, one should deal with, among other things, the no less corrupt Ronald Reagan, whose lack of factual and truthfulness is legendary. Trump and Reagan differ essentially in the fact that the latter worked his way up with the help of hard work and the half- and underworld, while the former, at best, would have become a hot dog vendor in Queens or Brooklyn without the multimillion-dollar inheritance from his parents and the help of the half- and underworld (The Washington Post, 4 October 2019: Politics saved Ronald Reagan from impeachment. That might happen again for Donald Trump. and Reagan administration scandals).

In addition, it would suddenly become clear that the US has been living at the expense of its trading partners for decades when it comes to total accounts (products, goods, services and finances)), CNN, 7 August 2020: In a heated exchange, CNN’s Poppy Harlow confronts Trump’s top economic adviser, The Guardian, 7 August 2020: Trump is in electoral hot water.

Should Trump actually stay in power, there are only two reasons for this: While the first “election” (in fact, he never received a majority of the votes) could still be described as an accident, the second term would be intentional. Accordingly, the Americans would want a completely incompetent, corrupt, criminal, xenophobic and antisemitic weirdo as godfather. This variant is rather unlikely. It would be more likely that he would again allow his boss Vladimir Putin to influence the election and, like an average dictator from Central Africa, will like to weaken his country considerably in order to rob it in his favor at the same time.

The Iranian leadership couldn’t care less about what Netanyahu, Trump or the Arab Gulf states want. This game is lost by Trump, Netanyahu and the Saudi Crown Prince. They aren’t even able to maintain the arms embargo, because China and Russia will veto it. That’s what comes of putting an incompetent and corrupt bungler in the Oval Office of the White House.

The United Arab Emirates rate the threat posed by Iran ever higher and are therefore trying to strengthen military alliances and classify Israel as the lesser evil, following the motto “The enemy of my enemy is my friend!” Of course, understandably, Israel is still not trusted. In return, the UAE accept that the corrupt kleptocrats Netanyahu and Trump can distract for a few hours from the fact that they are the completely wrong people for the tasks assigned to them. The Emiratis can even talk about it nicely by pointing out that Netanyahu’s and Trump’s mentalities and ways of acting ultimately make them ideally suited to the Middle East, because they have never understood the concepts of democracy, law and freedom. For the Palestinians, however, it is more bad news because it means that the Emiratis have made a choice, albeit understandably, for their own security. This inevitably leads to the legitimate interests of the Palestinians being neglected and thus indirectly favoring the further expansion of the illegal Israeli settlements in Palestine. Netanyahu has already announced that the planned illegal annexation of the largest parts of the Palestinian state (East Jerusalem and the West Bank) will only be postponed, but not canceled. The Palestinians are not innocent of this development, because their actions and their omissions have angered the Arab supporters considerably. How long this situation will last from the UAE’s point of view is difficult to assess, especially since China has closed agreements with Iran and Saudi Arabia that have what it takes to turn enemies into friends, so that the tide can turn into the opposite, especially because there is still no agreement between China and the United Arab Emirates. This can be changed quickly. It is of course also obvious that the agreement between two small states will not change the world.

Netanyahu’s contribution to this is not measurable, Trump’s contribution is an arms deal with the UAE. The first agreements between the Arab Gulf states and Israel were necessary in order to partially reverse the unforgivable mistake of Trump’s unilateral termination of the Iran deal under pressure of Netanyahu and the Saudi royal family. Iran, which is now striving towards China as a self-made enemy and thereby becoming even more uncontrollable, is at the same time a self-made common threat to which unusual coalitions are responding. Tactically and strategically it was obviously successful in building up Iran as an “overpowering and common enemy” (although its armed status does not allow it) in order to enable the Arab states to form face-saving alliances with Israel.

Instead, completing the project has now become a matter of credibility. After Trump’s dealings with the EU and individual EU states over the past four years, it is of course also about not making a single political success possible for him before the presidential elections, no matter how small, and that works surprisingly well. Although the Trump administration is currently trying desperately to promote the “Three Seas Initiative” in order to increase its influence on the EU eastward expansion along the way, the USA can directly bury its economic goals without the cooperation of the EU core countries. Neither Paris, Rome nor Berlin will submit to the Trump dictation. This, of course, against the background that Trump’s policies are just as insane as Putin’s policies. However, this cannot hide the fact that neither Berlin, Paris nor Brussels have any convincing counter-strategies. “We wait for the next US president” is neither sufficient nor a strategy at all. All current and many future challenges are already known, so that appropriate concepts for investments can be developed, which in the end should lead to much more European self-sufficiency in order to, among other things, decouple from Trump’s trade war with China. Also in other areas, such as NATO / Common Security (the EU sees itself as “soft power”, but without appropriate armament and defense structures that take part in solving problems in Europe, the Levant and North Africa with credible clout, from “soft power” only “chat room” remains) or international treaties (e.g. the Iran deal), it is clear that the EU has to develop its own lines and solutions in order to be able to keep up with future global competition), Haaretz, 20 October 2020: Trump Is the Best U.S. President for Netanyahu.

The realignment of US foreign policy has already been initiated under Barack Obama, but the EU and its states refused to believe it. The catastrophic, incompetent and criminal Trump administration has now made things clear. But neither the EU nor its federal states have learned from this sufficiently and at the necessary speed. Should Joe Biden be able to win the election, the EU would only have gained a little time, but would still have to speed up considerably on the subject of “Common Security”. If the corrupt Trump were to succeed in stealing the US elections through some sort of manipulation (it could even happen, albeit unlikely, that there are enough fools among US voters who might re-elect the ridiculous clown), the EU should prepare better today than tomorrow for the fact that he will push the US out of NATO. At the same time, that would be the end of the “West” as we know it, because that would also be the beginning of the exit from all transatlantic cooperation. This would have a considerable negative effect on both sides, but it would at least give the EU the positive impetus to finally get its butt up and to form a real union within a very short time if the individual states do not want to go south), The New Yorker, 4 November 2020: Presidential Election 2020: Live Results and Analysis, CNN, 4 November 2020: German lawmaker: Trump’s behavior ‘awful’, CNN, 4 November 2020: News anchors forcefully call out Trump for prematurely declaring victory, NPR, 4 November 2020: Race Up In The Air, Even As Trump Falsely Claims Victory (Trouser pocket Hitler or Trumpism. At the same time it is apparently time to take off the rose tinted glasses when assessing the USA and its democratic basis. The US has never been a so-called “full democracy” according to the Democracy Index. Even US experts estimate the situation in such a way that “the USA is on the way to democracy”. Trump has now made it clear for four years that this path is not his path. This has been foreseeable for years and has noticeable consequences in practice. In the US institutions hollowed out by Trump, one can often no longer find any contact persons because thousands of positions are vacant. It cannot be made clearer that there is no interest in a dialogue. What does this mean for Germany and the EU? For Germany, first of all, what has already been described several times in some of the articles on this blog, namely the much clearer assumption of personal responsibility and initiative in many areas (trade, economy, climate, security, etc.). For the EU, this should mean, among other things, a considerably deepened Union, possibly in connection with the concentration on the core EU, in order to be able to act quickly. And what about NATO? With Trump’s second term in office, only a rump organization with Canada, the EU (Common Security and Defense Policy), Great Britain and Australia would remain. In addition to the various negative consequences for the EU, this has the remarkable advantage of a multi-trillion investment program for domestic demand, if only to become largely self-sufficient in the areas of energy, technology and weapons technology), France24, 4 November 2020: Live: Trump prematurely claims election victory as vote count still rolling in, Politico.eu, 4 November 2020: Biden: The election ‘ain’t over until every vote is counted’, The Guardian, 4 November 2020: Europe: Leaders react with caution as Trump falsely claims victory, BBC, 4 November 2020: US vote goes to wire as Trump falsely claims fraud, Irish Times, 4 November 2020: Fintan O’Toole: At 2.23am today, the US president launched an attempted coup, France24, 4 November 2020: The predicted ‘blue wave’ never came and America’s wounds are unwashed, Politico.eu, 4 November 2020: Twitter flags Trump tweet on election results for ‘misleading’ content, CNN, 4 November 2020: Analysis: Trump’s call to halt vote counts is his most brazen swipe at democracy yet, The Guardian, 4 November 2020: ‘Authoritarian’: Trump condemned for falsely claiming election victory, France24, 4 November 2020: Tensions run high on US Election Day despite generally peaceful vote, Politico.eu, 4 November 2020: EU frets over fallout from US election uncertainty, DW, 4 November 2020: Germany worried about potential for crisis in US election, BBC, 4 November 2020: US election 2020: Sarah McBride to be first trans state senator, The New York Times, 4 November 2020: Election Turns Into Nail-Biter That May Extend for Days, The Washington Post, 4 November 2020: Counting continues through the night in key Midwestern battleground states, Der Spiegel, 4 November 2020: The Antidemocrat: Trump’s Overly Hasty Declaration of Victory, BBC, 4 November 2020: Biden takes Michigan and says ‘clear we will win’, NPR, 4 November 2020: As America Waits Out An Uncertain Election, Much Of The World Sees Chaos, CNN, 4 November 2020: Joe Biden is closing in on 270, The Guardian, 4 November 2020: Live US election 2020: Biden wins Michigan in vital step towards presidency as Trump tries to challenge results, Politico.eu, 4 November 2020: Live blog: Europe reacts to US election, NPR, 4 November 2020: Election Results And Updates: Biden Wins Michigan; Trump Needs Sweep Of Last 4 Swing States, Haaretz, 4 November 2020: Trump and Netanyahu May Go, but the Erosion of Democracy Is Here to Stay, The New York Times, 4 November 2020: Biden Wins Michigan and Wisconsin, With Edge in 2 Other Key States, Times of Israel, 4 November 2020: Same city, different views: Jews in Manhattan, Brooklyn cast their ballots, The Washington Post, 4 November 2020: Voters await count as Biden camp urges patience, Trump team mounts challenges, Jerusalem Post, 4 November 2020: Trump is putting his faith in Supreme Court rather than in American voters, Haaretz, 4 November 2020: Achieving the Impossible, Trump May Leave Mideast Worse Than He Found It, Times of Israel, 5 November 2020: US sets new record for virus cases, highlighting challenge for election winner, France24, 5 November 2020: Biden could face a ‘Green divide’ if he wins the US election, Haaretz, 5 November 2020: In Florida, Trump Got More Jewish Votes Than Anywhere Else.

It is not a new development that the US Democrats are thoroughly annoyed by being asked to provide unconditional aid and in return they are tricked over and over again. That won’t go well for much longer. By far the most important mission of Biden is to reconcile America with itself. The US withdrawal from the Middle East, as it began under Obama, is part of the mission to enable the US to turn towards China. America wants to remain a world power and therefore cannot get tangled up in the small-small conflicts of the Middle East, while China is making rapid gains. What applies to the Middle East, of course, also applies to the EU. A lot of states now will have to learn to swim quickly on their own if they want to stay in the game. Israel and Netanyahu tried to torpedo the revival of the Iran deal, with the support of the Gulf states. To complain now that the deal isn’t back yet is pretty flimsy and a self-made problem), New York Post, 19 August 2021: Biden cancels $5.8 billion in student loan debt for the disabled, The Hill, 19 August 2021: The Memo: Biden’s worst week raises big questions, The New York Times, 19 August 2021: Trump’s Deal With the Taliban Draws Fire From His Former Allies, The Atlantic, 19 August 2021: ‘This Is Not Saigon.

Besides this grave and historic mistake, another mistake is often overlooked: As the article correctly describes, Trump put American interests first, completely neglecting the interests of the Arab Gulf States. It would have been of great importance to enable these states militarily to take measures against the Iranian nuclear program themselves. That didn’t happen. Because of it, the Arab Gulf States will with some certainty have to look for alternative suppliers for appropriate weapon systems (and have already found them in China, among others) and sooner or later begin building atomic bombs themselves in order to maintain the balance of power in the Arab (on the west side) / Persian (on the east side) Gulf. If you look at the overall chaos that Trump and Netanyahu have left behind, then there are only bad and very bad solutions for Biden and the USA. The cheapest of the bad solutions would be to stay out of the way militarily and leave it to the countries of the region to find a solution for themselves. Interestingly, the Arab Gulf States and Iran also considered this possibility and have therefore already held initial talks with each other. After all, neither side can be interested in a war that would set the entire Gulf ablaze, and it would at least avert the imminent threat of open war.

Fact is that the two weirdos hadn’t, haven’t and never will have any alternative to the Iran deal, but still decided to free fall without a parachute and at the same time made Iran’s potential construction of a nuclear bomb possible in the first place. As a reminder, at the urging of then-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose job it was to avert harm to the Israeli people, but instead, in his utterly misguided mania, chose the opposite direction. Trying to distract from this by attempting to blame President Biden for the complete failure of Netanyahu and Trump is cheapest political propaganda), CNN, 11 February 2022: US auto factories disrupted by Canadian trucker rally, Miami Herald, 13 February 2022: ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill is just the beginning of Florida GOP’s cruelty to LGBTQ kids, DW, 14 February 2022: Ukraine crisis: What can the US expect from Germany? (how Olaf Scholz managed to gamble away so much international trust in such a short time is remarkable. It’s just unbelievable how he could stumble like that, and this after being world champ in crisis management Angela Merkel’s student and vice chancellor for years. It will take years to put things right again, quite independently from if Ukraine is joining NATO, which itself knows that it is far from being ready to meet the admission requirements and that the significantly higher EU access requirements are even harder fulfill. Overall, however, as after Afghanistan, the considerable weaknesses of the EU security and defense policy are becoming all too clear. Nevertheless, there are still incorrigible people who believe that they would do better on their own than in a group – they just won’t, but on the contrary, contribute to further self-dwarfing and the loss of importance of Europe on the world stage – self-chosen fate. However, the $1 million question over the next few years will also be how to bring Ukraine closer to the EU so that it can be included in the “Common Security and Defense Policy”. That will also depend on how the EU manages to set up a joint, active EU army to complement NATO. This step, which has been overdue for 20 years and is becoming ever more urgent in view of the mounting challenges, can no longer be ignored even by the simple-minded peace movement and name dancers. Neither Germany’s ever-increasing responsibility in the military defense of European interests against ongoing and escalating Russian aggression. Not to mention the challenges in the Eastern Mediterranean and North Africa. If Europe doesn’t want to be overwhelmed by crises all the time, it has no choice but to invest heavily in defense. Otherwise, Germany and Europe’s future prospects will crumble before our very eyes. There are, of course, those in Europe that would be only too happy to see this happen, but they also fell for Russian and Chinese state propaganda and see Putin and Xi Jinping as democrats suffering from military aggression from NATO. However, the simpletons cannot credibly explain why they didn’t finally move to Russia, China or Saudi Arabia, even though in their views everything is terrible in the democratic West. So Europe’s decision makers can completely ignore their voices and instead focus on securing the future of Europe), Al Arabiya, 15 February 2022: US tells Russia it wants ‘verifiable, credible, meaningful de-escalation’, The National, 15 February 2022: Biden’s Afghanistan envoy details ‘honest and productive’ dialogue with Taliban, France24, 15 February 2022: Live: Biden says Russian attack in Ukraine ‘still very much a possibility’, BBC, 15 February 2022: Ukraine crisis: Russian attack still a possibility – Biden (so far there is little evidence that Putin would actually withdraw troops from the Ukrainian border. Rather, it appears that he is merely moving the troops around and where Russian troops are actually withdrawn, they are replaced by the troops of his henchman, the Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko. Irrespective of this, the Americans achieved a partial victory in the propaganda war here. The chances of success in a war are of course always influenced by the element of surprise, which the Russians have completely lost here, and which at the same time made it unmistakably clear to all the world that Putin is still the invader, assailant, attacker and aggressor against Ukraine. Unlike Europe and unlike 2014, this time the Americans did not let themselves be lulled or taken by surprise by the Russians, but instead literally put all the cards (satellite images, maps with troop deployments, etc.) on the table right from the start in order to make it clear from the beginning where Russian and Belarusian troops are located, in what strength and with what weapon systems. The Europeans, on the other hand, are sitting like rabbits in front of a snake, as they did in 2014, or have even fallen for Putin’s state propaganda in large numbers once again. Once again it becomes clear how little Europe is able to ensure its own security – self-chosen and self-inflicted. Without the US, Europe would once again be completely defenseless and helpless against Putin’s continued aggressions. For how much longer does Europe want to dwarf itself, expose itself to global ridicule and the unbelievable embarrassment that goes with it? How long will the decision-makers want to turn a blind eye to the absolute inability to implement a common security and defense policy without feeling the slightest shame before they finally act responsibly and take the necessary steps emphatically until an appropriate, common defense is in place?), CNN, 16 February 2022: Why US may be forced back into Middle East, Al Arabiya, 16 February 2022: Russia attack on Ukraine ‘still very much a possibility’: US President Biden, CNN, 16 February 2022: Biden to Russian citizens: “You are not our enemy”, Irish Times, 16 February 2022: Biden to citizens of Russia -‘ You are not our enemy’, CNN, 17 February 2022: Blinken: ‘I am here today not to start a war, but to prevent one’, CNN, 17 February 2022: US cranks up the information warfare against Putin, NPR, 18 February 2022: Americans are fleeing to places where political views match their own, The New Yorker, 18 February 2022: The Ukraine Transparency Initiative, Foreign Policy, 18 February 2022: Washington Must Prepare for War With Both Russia and China, Miami Herald, 18 February 2022: Russia is flexing its muscles in Latin America.

“New Deal”, the restart of transatlantic relations
How could this restart look like and what should it at least contain? Since President Biden will initially be busy clearing up his predecessor’s chaos and reconciling America with itself, it is all the more important for his European partners to support him in achieving foreign policy goals in order to secure his presidency along the way. Many of the goals are ultimately also in the European interest, so that the “jumping over your own shadow” will be limited. To this end, the EU core states and net contributors should get together, develop a corresponding concept paper as a basis for discussion and do so promptly so that they can approach the Biden administration (A New Agreement, 20 January 2021: More Ambition, Please!). Since the net recipients will only participate anyway if they receive money from Brussels in return, they do not need to be involved in the talks. Biden is also an internationalist, so it should be easier for him to reintegrate into international agreements and organizations, e.g. the WTO, UNESCO or the WHO, smoothly and silently. The most important sub-aspects include:

  • Trade: Dismantling of trade restrictions and tariffs, as has been demanded by both sides for years. A TTIP 2.0 or an agreement based on CETA. When it comes to dealing with China, there is unlikely to be an overall agreement, especially since the EU does not want to be razed between the two superpowers. When it comes to the need to curb harmful Chinese tendencies, however, there is already broad consensus in terms of content (fair, equal market access, distortion of competition, protection of intellectual property, etc.).
  • Environment / Climate: The reintegration into the Paris Agreement has already been announced as one of the first official acts of Biden (Paris Agreement).
  • Security: Not only since the seizure of power (if you have 3 million votes less than your competitor and then you can still be declared the US president, that cannot be phrased differently) by the presidential fool Trump is the subject of “external security” for the US of great importance. It has to be the same for Europeans, but for them it has to be supplemented by the subject of “internal security”, e.g. in the joint fight against any form of terrorism within the EU by Europol and / or Frontex. In addition, there is the dealings with Turkey, which is increasingly hostile to the EU and which should be dealt with accordingly (freezing of the customs union (the threat of withdrawing from the refugee agreement no longer applies, especially since the EU front-line states have meanwhile secured their borders much better), suspension of all aid figures, no more military aid, freezing of NATO membership so that the Turkish leadership can calmly think about which alliance the country would like to belong to in the future or whether it would rather be wiped out between Russia and Iran. Admission to the EU has already been put on hold and will probably remain so for a few more years, etc.). One of these challenges is a justifiable solution to Brexit, in which Great Britain can manage an orderly exit from the EU. Barack Obama, in his usual eloquent-friendly-diplomatic manner, tried to make it clear to the Europeans that both the Second World War and the Cold War 1.0 were a thing of the past, so that Europe should finally organize its external security together and independently that it could stand up for itself and to pacify its “backyards” (Russia, Levant, Middle East, North Africa) (Hillary Clinton would have also asked for it and Biden will of course continue). It was a big mistake on the part of the Europeans to ignore the appeals, because instead of building up this common defense structure piece by piece over a period from 2008 onwards, it must now be done all the faster and more costly, because it is now clear that the USA is about to withdraw from Europe and the Middle East and instead concentrate on the Pacific area. The EU, especially supported and promoted by the economically strongest country in Europe, the military skiver Germany, must therefore develop joint military capabilities and begin with the EU core states. How could Germany’s role look like? As always, there are several ways to get there, but they all add up to “more”. With the 2% NATO target in mind, it is less important to develop capabilities within Germany (this is mainly about successful replacement purchases and the establishment of full operational readiness, from which the country is still light years away for various reasons) than it is to contribute to the protection of the EU’s external borders. Here it would be advisable to intensify the cooperation with the EU core states by subordinating considerable German contingents to the frontline states and stationing them on site (which at the same time makes the Bundeswehr more attractive as an employer if you know that you don’t end up in Bottrop during your service, but instead travel around Europe) in order to gradually achieve the establishment of a common defense structure (EU army) and at the same time contribute to strengthening mutual trust. That would go far beyond mere lip service and would send strong and clear signals. This is the easy part of the exercise, especially since good preparatory work has already been done. It becomes more difficult with the cooperation with the EU eastward enlargement (with the exception of the Baltic States) and south-east Europe. To explain to the Polish government that you intend to station German troops in the country should at least cause irritation. In particular, the ultra-nationalists of the PiS still fear that “Since 5:45 am we are now firing back” could occur again. So it will be a little more difficult and tricky to proceed. For example, in the context of joint procurement and the alignment of weapon systems and calibers, the partial assumption of costs or the increase of the respective defense budget from the federal defense budget, the provision of a “framework contingent” from which the EU eastward expansion could receive weapons and ammunition would come into question and services to a corresponding extent, so that German armourers also get something of the pie via the detour (similar to the way the US does it with Israel: an overall aid budget for support services is set, from which the Israelis, who are also obliged to buy mostly American products so that the domestic economy benefits from it and on the other hand no competing manufacturers are built abroad. In addition, the USA maintains large ammunition depots in Israel, from which the Israelis can receive deliveries. In Netanyahu’s propaganda language, this reads “Israel’s military superiority in the region” (Qualitative Military Edge (QME)). Observer can of course count on one finger what that actually means in practice). The aim of common defense would not be strengthened by pooling troops, but national defenses in the EU’s eastward expansion would. In cooperation with the Baltic States, both variants are already possible today (troops on site and support measures for the armies) and are already being given in some cases. All the measures taken together would bring Germany significantly closer to the 2% NATO target and at the same time ensure that the country would be taken seriously militarily. The military weakness of Germany has not only been the foreign policy Achilles’ heel since yesterday. The medium-term goal must be to build a powerful EU army that reports directly to the European Parliament and that complements NATO. This relieves NATO and the Europeans would be able to regulate their own affairs at any time, which in turn relieves the Americans.
  • Energy: Among other things, with the help of Countering America’s Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) and the hypocritical Protecting Europe’s Energy Security Act (PEESA) the Trump clan tries to sell questionable and overpriced US fracking gas (which is why the US fracking industry is facing considerable economic problems) in the form of LNG to Europe. In order to achieve the climate goals, there is a considerable additional demand for natural gas in Europe, which can only be met by a large mix of suppliers, not “either or” but “both”. Poland would like to see itself in the role of importer and distributor of fracking gas. The country does not want to say goodbye to its coal skimmers and is also accepting considerable environmental damage in America and considerable damage to the health of the population at the production sites by importing LNG. A friendly people. Germany and other Western European countries are relying on another pipeline from Russia in order to be able to cover parts of the additional demand. All EU states are of course completely free to determine their energy mix and suppliers themselves. Trump’s America therefore attempted to undermine self-determination with the help of illegal coercive measures. Every state has to defend itself against this tyranny of a hostile regime and that is exactly what happened. The Biden administration will also try to increase the market share of US fracking gas in European gas imports, but will certainly react with common sense. In this respect, it would make sense to close an agreement on the import of X% US fracking gas in total imports at a price of no more than Y, so that the topic can be taken off the table (Politico.com, 27 November 2020: How Biden may save U.S. gas exports to Europe).


Impeachment II
Shortly before the handover of power from #45 to President Joe Biden, Trump called on his right-wing extremists and terrorists to attack the Capitol (2021 storming of the United States Capitol), the heart of US democracy, who followed the call. The attack on the Capitol certainly had 9/11 potential, only that the perpetrators this time were Trump’s domestic terrorists. This now results in the second impeachment proceedings against Trump. At the same time, he is the only US president against whom two impeachment proceedings have ever been initiated (First impeachment of Donald Trump and Second impeachment of Donald Trump).

After civilization has moved back into the White House with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, it is quite remarkable how quickly Trump and his administration disappear into oblivion. Just observing the media landscape makes it clear that the last curtain seems to have fallen. It remains to be seen how the second impeachment proceedings against Trump develop and there is speculation about how his right-wing extremists and terrorists will position themselves, but that’s it. After five years of continuous propaganda fireworks and the spread of fake news nonsense by Trump & Co. 24/7 and on all media channels available, on the one hand, the desire for calm, serenity and normality is clearly recognizable nationally and internationally, but on the other hand, a hole has arisen because one can no longer be amused about the complete incompetence and ignorance of the Trump administration three times a day or, alternatively, be extremely upset about it.


Causes
In the end, there is only one question: How could it happen that under 50% of the US voters and a sufficient number voted for Trump? There are now entire studies on this. Simplified it is about the nationwide decline of the middle class, the loss of entire industries, unemployment and lack of prospects. This applies in particular to the so-called flyover country, the part of America that lies away from the (coastal) metropolises and inland and therefore hardly gets any attention. In areas such as today’s Rust Belt, which was formerly called the “Manufacturing Belt” due to its large number of factories, this can be observed as an example. To vote for Trump was a cry for help and a call for attention and the recognition of lifetime achievements (e.g. in the now collapsed mining industry). That did work, but it may well be that is precisely why the Trump nightmare might continue after November 2020, because Trump has made a lot of empty promises, of which he has barely kept any, but his hate speeches are in the interest of his voters and against all sorts of imaginary “enemies” of the US who shall be responsible for large-scale job losses (in East Germany this is also recognizable with the rise of the AfD). Above all, these shall be foreigners and immigrants. It does not matter that these are largely fact-free claims. In fact, more than 80% of the jobs that have been lost have disappeared from simple and medium-skilled job offers due to more effective production processes, in particular the increasing automation of production processes, globalization and specialization. Conversely, this means that the underqualified workers and employees are partly responsible for their own situation. They have to come to corresponding self-knowledge first, then draw the right conclusions from it and finally create new perspectives for themselves. In the West, individualization and self-determination have been increasingly important for decades. This also applies to professional persepectives. Instead, they are now calling for the state to fix everything and create new prospects. At the same time, the state cannot and should not be able to do this due to the overall social orientation. This applies to Europe and the US alike. Instead, they are now seaking for “they are guilty” groups, although objectively it is almost always up to themselves what to do with their lifes (The Washington Post, 26 May 2020: The coronavirus pandemic will turn into a poverty pandemic unless we act now, The Guardian, 5 August 2020: ‘Death by structural poverty’: US south struggles against Covid-19, The Economist, 3 October 2020: The other half: Measuring poverty in the midst of America’s covid-19 epidemic, BBC, 15 October 2020: Coronavirus: US poverty rises as aid winds down, The Guardian, 12 November 2020: Donald Trump has lost the election – yet Trumpland is here to stay, The Hill, 21 November 2020: It’s time to unlock Rural America’s assets, The New York Times, 27 November 2020: Why Did So Many Americans Vote for Trump?, NPR, 7 March 2021: ‘Why Us?’: A Year After Being Laid Off, Millions Are Still Unemployed, The Guardian, 3 May 2021: ‘Ground zero of the opioid epidemic’: West Virginia puts drug giants on trial, The Washington Post, 9 November 2021: Desperate, angry, destructive: How Americans morphed into a mob, The New York Times, 17 November 2021: Americans died of drug overdoses in record numbers as the pandemic spread, federal researchers reported., The Washington Post, 17 November 2021: 100,000 Americans died of overdoses in 12 months during pandemic, CNN, 18 November 2021: Americans are overdosing on a drug they don’t know they’re taking, Forward, 9 December 2021: The Met is erasing the Sackler name.

If you read the entire article and especially the media reports linked here, then it is remarkable in what short time #45 and his administration has left swaths of devastation in US democracy, institutions, domestic and foreign policy, security policy and the economy (the now gigantic US national debt will occupy generations – another bankruptcy case brought about by #45). As expected, “Make America Great Again” failed completely. Instead, #45 has alienated the largest and most important partners of the USA massively, exposed the USA to ridicule internationally and reduced trust in them to zero, damaged the office of president considerably, ie successfully implemented “Make America Small Again”. In addition, there are the hundreds of thousands of Covid-19 deaths due to the completely incompetent crisis management. More than 200,000 Americans were sacrificed for the Trump election campaign. That is more US casualties than in all war missions of the past decades combined. That almost has to be classified as “mass murder and domestic terrorism“. The biggest and most dangerous enemy of the US is clearly Donald J. Trump, who for his part still foolishly claims to act in America’s interests. The turn to factual issues, away from the daily presidential nonsense and the unbearable, thousandfold lies of #45, shows this more and more clearly. The repair of all damage caused by #45 and his administration will take at least a decade. The rapid radicalization of the Republican Party is also remarkable. The so-called Rockefeller Republicans, whose basic attitudes are comparable to liberal CDU members, have been rigeros pushed out of the party and replaced by right-wing extremists. Whether and how the party will recover from this over the next few years or decades remains to be seen. This then leads, among other things, to the old discussion about two-party vs. multi-party system. In a multi-party system, radical centrifugal forces that are hostile to democracy, such as the AfD which pretty much look like todays Republican Party, can found their own parties and after a while ultimately disappear in the orcus. This is not possible in a two-party system. Sooner or later you have to try to recapture the radical forces or put the party on the losing track for a longer period of time and hope that a self-healing process will begin. True to the motto “nobody is useless, he can still serve as a bad example”, #45 has shown the world for four years the disastrous consequences it can have when a crazy right-wing extremist is brought into a position of power.

In view of the many negative developments from 2016 on as a reminder: For fans of the United States and transatlantics alike or in personal union, it is of course always painful to watch US Presidents like George W. Bush or Donald Trump damaging the integrity and international appeal of the United States on a daily basis, only to serve single interests. In America, such behavior (individual interests before national interests) is named “un-American”, unless, of course, it comes from the far right, for whom, as is well known, laws, contracts and agreements do not apply (they at least claim for themselves) until proven otherwise. After all, it is at the latest certain that after two terms in office, the spook will be over for a while and the United States and the rest of the world can gain time to recover from the devastations caused. But when putting the incompetent, corrupt, criminal, racist, small minded, unsuccessful Republican Trump administration and politics in general aside, then you have a country with an incredible cultural diversity (in the New York borough of Queens there are people with over 180 nationalities alone who, through their diversity, contribute to what characterizes and is New York, namely the capital of the world ), with sometimes dramatically beautiful landscapes and cities that have been among the super coolest places on the planet for years and are mostly inhabited by liberal, cosmopolitan, friendly people. You have to make a lot of effort not to be enthusiastic about it and not to be magically attracted to it. However, when looking at the political playground, it is much easier to identify weaknesses and problems. Europe owes a lot to the United States, especially after the two world wars. Conversely, America would not exist today without European settlers. So we are connected and interwoven in many ways and at different levels. Trump cannot change that permanently, even if he tries hard, by ensuring from the very beginning of his term in office that there was no international trust in him and his administration at any time and that this also damaged basic trust in the United States, especially since the Trump government behave like that of any other rogue state. Only the future will show how sustainable the damage caused will be for international relations. There were always great upsets between the two sides, which in the end could all be overcome. This will also be the case after the total failure in the White House has left office. However, there will probably not a “back to normal”, as was the case before Trump took office, but there will be closer cooperations again. Change can start quickly (President Tweety voted out of office in November 2020) or take four more long years to come, but it will come. The Trumps of the world come and go. Sometimes they leave chaos and burned bridges, but ultimately there is nothing that cannot be repaired. In this sense: The United States: Bon appétit! and The United States: Bon voyage!. Although tourism numbers and the sum of foreign direct investment are declining, these indicators will recover in the post-Trump period, although it shouldn’t be assumed that a successor will make a 180° political turn (Pax Americana), especially as some of #45’s crude theses and theories are well received by the Democrats, but it can probably be assumed that the complete inability of #45 will not be exceeded.

Nevertheless, the EU in its current constitution can learn a great deal from the history of its origins and social developments in the USA. Some observers dismiss it as excessive nationalism (American exceptionalism) that in the states on every corner US flags are on display and in many schools before classes begin the national anthem is sung. In parts this is the case. In fact, it is primarily about meaningful symbolism for social community building. America does not have a homogeneous population, but is made up of immigrants from all over the world who have brought their cultures, religions, rituals and folklore with them. In order to turn this “thrown together pile” into a community of people, strong symbols such as the flag, the national anthem, the Fourth of July (Independence Day) or the Super Bowl (Baseball and Apple Pie are even more important) are needed. Symbols that everyone agrees on, regardless of which social group they belong to. To a certain extent, the symbols represent the social glue. In order for the symbols to work, it took several generations to go ahead so that, as they are today, they are perceived as completely natural. The EU still has a long way to go here, but at least has a very successful role model that can be seen as a guide.
