From the EU perspective, I can see why it pays to say the US is an unreliable or unnecessary partner. It may or may not be true, but cui bono: EU gets to reindustrialize and invest domestically. Seems like a great idea for EU and US both.
What makes you think the U.S continues to be a reliable partner for anyone anywhere?
The US doesn't have any partners anymore, except for some small countries like Hungary and Israel.
I think you'd be surprised how much intel sharing and cooperation happens behind the political curtains.
A number of European countries have PUBLICLY come out to say they are suspending cooperation on a number of different fronts. You can only imagine what it’s like in private.
This was starting to change even during Trump 1. It's unlikely to last throughout this current term.
