It is a talking point that Trump has damaged trust in us by our allies. The notion that there is this unified cluster of allies who are all trustworthy is nonsense. Can you name a European country that has not changed its policies, or governmental structures, or economic and trade policies since the U.S. entered an alliance with them. They are all in a constant state of flux. And the only component in which they truly put a trust in us is our power and the hope that we would be the big brother who protects them and their interests. Interests, BTW, which have often been at odds with ours.
