The European Council on Foreign Relations finds that most Europeans do not consider that the US is an ally:
Europeans think US is ‘necessary partner’ not ‘ally’, study finds
12 February 2025
A majority of Europeans considers the US is a “necessary partner” rather than “an ally”, according to a poll published on Wednesday by the pan-European think tank European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), against the backdrop of friction between the EU and US over tariffs.
This view was shared by half of the respondents to the survey, and a majority of those questioned in countries traditionally close to the US, such as Denmark, Germany and Poland.
“This represents a big change for some countries that used to be strongly transatlantic,” Pawel Zerka, ECFR’s senior policy fellow, said, adding: “But this is understandable because if Donald Trump does no longer present the transatlantic alliance as a true alliance, but as something which needs to be transactional, then we simply accept it.”
According to the analyst, the situation should be regarded as an “opportunity” for Europeans to try to set up a “pragmatic approach to the US rather than an idealistic one”.
The poll was conducted in 11 EU countries – including Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Denmark, Estonia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary – as well as Ukraine, Switzerland, and the UK. …
The study also showed broad variations in Europeans’ perception of Europe and its role in the world. The largest camp, so-called “euro-optimists”, believe that the EU is a great power and that its collapse is unlikely within the next two decades. They represented 30% of the respondents, with the largest group in Estonia, Denmark, Ukraine, Spain and Portugal. By contrast, 22% of respondents were “euro-pessimists”, believing the EU is not a power and is doomed to collapse. …
The overall sample of the study included 18,507 respondents. https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2025/02/12/europeans-think-us-is-necessary-partner-not-ally-study-finds
Let me state that the above poll results are consistent with a poll that came out last month (see Europeans fearful of Donald Trump’s second term–fear is a powerful motivator).
Now, as far as the European Union goes, what WILL HAPPEN IS THAT IT WILL REORGANIZE (Revelation 17:12-13) AND EUROPE WILL TURN AGAINST THE USA (Daniel 11:39)!
Related to the coming European Beast power turning against its former American friends, here is something from my latest book available at Amazon Kindle: Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump’s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies? as well as Amazon print :
Donald Trump’s foreign policy statements have unsettled many—in the USA as well as foreign nations. …
The Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2)—some statements by Donald Trump are pushing “friends” (NATO allies) into being enemies. …
The Bible is clear that there will be problems in Europe (Daniel 11:41-43), yet it also shows that Europe will undergo several reorganizations (Revelation chapters 16-18), and the two reorganizations in Revelation 17:12-13 specifically will not turn out well for the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39) or the Arab world (cf. Daniel 11:40-43).
Some “right-leaning” European political leaders seem to be re-energized by Donald Trump who because of his breaking political norms and acting like a ‘strong man.’[1] One of the unintended consequence of his actions is, that after crises (cf. Revelation 6:7-8), more Europeans will decide that they need their own even stronger leader—which will happen per Revelation 13:10 and 17:13. …
The USA will be attacked by “friends” consistent with the following:
1 How lonely sits the city
That was full of people!How like a widow is she,
Who was great among the nations!The princess among the provinces Has become a slave!
2 She weeps bitterly in the night,
Her tears are on her cheeks;
Among all her lovers
She has none to comfort her.All her friends have dealt treacherously with her;
They have become her enemies. cf. Lamentations 1:1-2).Notice the one who was “great among the nations” will be conquered by friends, who will become enemies.
The USA was prophesied to be “great” in Genesis 48:19 and is considered by international sources to be great among the nations of the world today.[2]

Others have noted that Donald Trump is treating nations who are considered to be “friends” as enemies (e.g. see RT: Zelensky says US doesn’t care about EU; BBC: Frenemies?).
Yes, the Bible teaches about a great power who will be destroyed by its friends, who become enemies (Lamentations 1:1-2).
Surveys coming from Europe show that less and less Europeans consider the USA to be a friend.
World events are aligning with properly understood biblical prophecies.
