Geopolitically this rift between the US and EU is great for adversaries like Russia and China.

>>Silver+L5
The US doesn't really see Russia as an adversary under Trump.

Which begs the question, why should the EU see China as an adversary? That's mostly an American thing, the Pacific doesn't really concern us.

Maybe alliances will reshuffle in the future?

>>saubei+F6
Democracies and authoritarian regimes naturally oppose each other, which is why the EU and China will never be true allies.

Coincidentally it's also why the US and EU are growing further apart.

That is not a given, as there are many authoritarian political parties in European countries growing in size and influence. Possibly Europe is only the usual decade or two behind the US developments? Well, I at least hope it does not come to this.
