Cause they know how loony and misguided we can be. If we elected a nut like trump once, we can do it again. trumps set us back years and destroyed our standing. Will we recover, probably but not anytime soon.

People in 16 countries were recently polled regarding global approval of the United States since Trumpezoid left office.  The results:  a 28% upward spike in favorability, from 34% under Stump last year to 62% under Biden this year.  The last time that level of approval was reached:  when a U.S. president by the name of Barack Obama was in the White House.  The increases were most notable among our European allies, with over 75% expressing confidence in Biden.  In comparison, confidence in Trumpolini last year registered only in the teens.

 
It's amazing what competence & cooperation with allies will do for a country's world image.

The damage Trump caused is deep and lasting. But at least Biden is doing what he can.

…why does this matter? How does the opinion of your average European effect whether or not if Joe 6 pack can put food on the table?

than whether Cucker or In-Sannity beat Anderson or Rachel in the ratings.  Different priorities for different political ideologies.

 
Also, it's affect (verb), not effect (noun).

with Biden.  Trump was making them pay their fair share.  Biden is picking up the tab again.  The Dem's are always magnanimous and generous with money that isn't theirs.

It has long been the goal that each nation will contribute 2% of their GDP to NATO but most members were contributing below 2%. Trump encouraged member nations to contribute more to the NATO budget to reach that 2%. That number contributing 2% has increased from 3 to 10 and the remaining nations have been increasing their contributions on a schedule set to reach 2% within a few years. Biden did not cancel or reduce those commitments. (What did happen is that Covid battered GDPs to that dollar amounts (or Euro amounts) are lower even tho' the percentages are up.)

…but in retrospect, I think a Europe that is more responsible for their own defense on the whole would be a good thing.

Trump may have ruffled some feathers in Europe, but he was right about Europe not paying their fair share.
