I spent thirty years in the US, but then I moved back to Europe.

Europeans started to take note when the US elected W. Bush, and then really sat up when he got elected again. As a German friend told me, "Once might have been a mistake."

After Trump, people are carefully diversifying away from a dependency on America, if they can. It will take a long time, though.

Thanks as usual for your writing, even though you are a figure of menace from my youth!
