[return to "US destroying its reputation as a scientific leader – European science diplomat"]

"In a parting shot before her retirement, the European Commission’s top science diplomat has castigated the US for destroying its reputation as a global scientific leader.

...

Speaking at the European Science Diplomacy Conference in Copenhagen, she did not elaborate on exactly how the US was wrecking its reputation.

...

The next programme, which starts in 2028, will also be more focused on European defence technology and industrial strength, raising questions over how welcome non-European partners will be, particularly in sensitive projects."

I am inclined to agree with her conclusion. But this is a political statement by a European diplomat selling her programme and asking for funds.

We can find better sources for documenting what’s happening. There is even nascent progress in measuring the harm.

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.

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.

This was starting to change even during Trump 1. It's unlikely to last throughout this current term.

What is your source?

We’re entering a multipolar world. That means more border wars, not less. Everything I’ve seen indicates more demand for American military and intelligence sharing, not less, despite the paradox therein.

Just general EU political news, I remember the UK not sharing some intelligence in Trump 1. I presume that a lot more of that happens behind the scenes.

I totally take your point around border wars, but I would expect to see substantial efforts to reduce the need for US intelligence, given the caprice shown by the current administration.
