So, Trump is actively angering certain countries, like Denmark (in the EU), Canada and Panama.
How will this impact the US in the future.
The main one, I'd support, especially from a Trumponian point of view, is MONEY.
"In FY2024 the total value of transferred defense articles and services and security cooperation activities conducted under the Foreign Military Sales system was $117.9 billion. "
The US made $117 billion from selling military weapons to foreign countries.

For 2023 you have:
"Poland bought Apache helicopters for $12bn, and also paid $10bn for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (Himars) and $3.75bn for M1A1 Abrams tanks," "It also spent $4bn on Integrated Air and Missile Defence Battle Command Systems."
That is a lot of money, nearly $30 billion just to Poland. As the EU now mistrusts the US, it will almost certainly start producing more of its own weaponry, and the US will lose a lot of this money.
