## Only one in 10 Europeans now see US as an ally, survey suggests

Authored by theguardian.com

The US president’s Middle East aggression, threats against Greenland, vows to withdraw troops from European bases and scepticism on the future of Nato had also prompted a growing European pragmatism, the report said.

“Across the continent, there’s clear support for reducing dependence on Washington,” said Jana Kobzová, a co-author and ECFR senior policy fellow.

“Europeans are increasingly open to higher defence spending and, crucially, show a striking degree of confidence that neighbouring countries would come to their aid in a crisis.”.

Majorities in every country were no longer confident the US would come to their aid in an attack.

Europeans were now on average 4% more likely to support higher national defence spending than last year, the survey found, with Italy the only country where a clear majority remained opposed.

On average, 47% of respondents backed the ideal of collective EU borrowing for finance greater defence spending, with 35% opposed to it.

Despite rising energy costs, 44% of Europeans said it would be a “rather bad” or “very bad” idea to resume importing oil and gas from Russia. »
