Donald Trump is not more ideological than his predecessors, but presents a new ideology that is distinguished by its more nationalist, traditionalist nature and oriented by the "America First" policy. This paradigm shift has been altering the perception of the United States among European countries.
Diana Soller, a commentator for CNN Portugal, has analyzed the reasons that led to a worsening in the evaluation of the United States among European countries during Trump's new term. Her analysis seeks to understand the implications of this new ideological approach in the transatlantic relationship.
The "America First" concept represents a central axis of this new ideology, which privileges American national interests over more multilateralist approaches. This position has generated tensions with traditional European allies, who expected a more cooperative stance from the American administration.
