Nations prepare for a post-European world

Live Mint  

As Donald Trump prepares his triumphant return to the White House, American allies in Europe are waking up to a disagreeable reality. This is why the leaders of once-great European powers tremble at every tweet from Mar-a-Lago and why Mr. Trump’s second term holds more challenges for Europe than his first. The contempt with which Germany and the European establishment generally rejected President Trump’s correct and important criticisms of misguided European foreign and domestic policies still rankles. European decline isn’t good for the U.S. With the axis of revisionists on the prowl, Team Trump will need all the help it can get, and America’s goal must be to resuscitate Europe rather than to dance on its grave. But Europe is no longer the center of America’s foreign-policy universe, and barring a near-miraculous European recovery, future presidents will likely follow Mr. Trump’s lead in shaping their policies for the new post-Western world.
