The American Century in Europe ended because of two major geopolitical events that will change transatlantic relations.
These are the phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin and the trip to Brussels by US Defense Secretary Pete Hegsett, where he called on European allies to "take responsibility for the security of the continent", CNN notes in its commentary.
The media indicates that these events have become a turning point in US-European relations, which emphasizes the importance of Trump's concept of "America first", as well as the American leader's tendency to view relations in terms of financial benefits.
