In the EU there is Italian Meloni desperate to please Trump and undermine the EU (without getting anything back from Trump, by the way). There is also a pro-Trump MAGA-like movement supported by some of the far-right parties of the Patriots (ironic that self-proclaimed “patriots” support a rival). Generally speaking, (far) right-wing parties now tend to be anti-EU and pro-Trump (when they are not pro-Putin).
It has been known that the US companies used UK as lobby when the latter was in the EU.
De Gaulle was right. He always thought the US will use UK to wedge itself and influence Europe. Even though he knows UK will always stand with Europe, he said they will always pick US over Europe.
I don’t know how it is in EU countries, but I’m distressed at just how deep US corporations have their claws into UK politicians. e.g. https://www.thenational.scot/news/25367773.peer-urged-crack-palestine-action-request-us-arms-firm/

Merz is just as bad, as is Wilders.

Don’t worry we have Putin and Netanyahu influencing us in the US. So the US is just a middleman wedge into the UK, from now Russia and Israel.
Aye. Long been a thing: https://openlibrary.org/books/OL28536706M/Awkward_Partner
