Europe and aversion of Trump

The European Union aversion of the new American President Trump now seems increasingly evident and threatens to become a major obstacle for relations between Brussels and Washington. A deterioration which seems to be already started with the US president attacks, against what is the most prestigious leaders of the union: Germany's Angela Merkel. The scheme used by Trump mirrors that used against China: it started from an attack on the country's economy, in this case the devaluation of the local currency, in order to emphasize a policy that harms the United States. well understood is that the criticism against Beijing was not against the lack of rights of the Chinese people, how it would be up to yesterday, but only the implementation of a policy which adversely affects the economic interests of the US and geopolitical. By now you must quickly get used to this trend of American foreign policy, which seems to shut himself inside the sole and exclusive national interests. The same thing started against Europe, in a reversal of what until now seemed to be the cornerstones of the American alliance. If the opposition to China was granted, although it should have been carried out with greater diplomacy, Trump seems to prefer Moscow, which was not at all attacked, but on which they were expressed words of appreciation, in Brussels. The European Union was first attacked indirectly, thanks to bank loan from the British prime minister, the first visit to the US, after the election of the new president, and then directly with the attack on Merkel and politics European monetary union, accused of using a deliberately weakened currency to support its balance of trade. The fact that we have not attacked the European Central Bank, responsible for monetary union, reveals a lack of desired touch, against the European institutions and the German Chancellor Merkel indicates the main target for the new Member States, in the old continent. But the economic reasons seem to have a significance that goes beyond the specific reasons, the perception is that they are a tool to criticize something else and that is, what Europe is facing the political vision of Trump which is the exact opposite. It seems obvious cultural reasons of what Europe, despite the many contrasts and contradictions, can represent for the whole world, especially if the US abdicate leadership role, even moral, of the Western world, who have held so far. Tactics Trump seems to be, consistent with its intent, to divide Europe to break up a union that has within it already deep divisions; surely the US President will take advantage of the emigration contrasts and also on budget issues, as well as those related to production surpluses, especially German, which so endangers American industry products. Certainly the vision of Trump can take hold of different movements present within Europe, who have the same ideas of the tenant of the White House, however, one can not consider that a divided Europe is weaker and therefore beyond the scope of Trump. The European force should be its own culture, never as important as at this time where the emergent antagonist is characterized precisely by his features rough and deeply marked by ignorance, especially politics. If the catalyst around which will join the culture will have to overcome mutual mistrust and the role of the founding members of the union must be to make, if necessary, also a selection to eliminate members who will not share, as already happens, the fundamental issues of Europe. If this contrast present scenario, as it seems, it will continue to consider an easing of relations with the USA with the result of trying new alliances and new solutions to meet the imposed global challenges, both geopolitical evolution, which from the economic. An appointment will no longer put off the creation of a European military force, able to compensate for the announced decline of the Atlantic Alliance's role. Become more and more autonomous from the United States becomes a requirement that it always announces more pressing, a variable to be included in the required manner in the reasoning and future projects. The next challenges are approaching ever faster rates, and Europe must change the mode of action, beginning to be appreciated by its citizens: essential element to be able to support the weight of the upcoming events that will force the story.
