WASHINGTON (AP) — America’s top diplomat is heading to Europe next week as the Biden administration moves to restore closer U.S. ties with European and NATO allies after four years of snubs and tension under former President Donald Trump.​
The State Department announced Friday that Secretary of State Antony Blinken will visit Brussels for the administration’s first in-person talks with transatlantic leaders. It said Blinken would focus on concerns over Afghanistan, China, Iran and Russia, climate change, cybersecurity, terrorism and energy security.​
“The meetings in Brussels reaffirm the United States’ commitment to our allies and European partners on our shared agenda,” State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.​
Blinken’s trip is centered on the annual spring meeting of NATO foreign ministers but will also include talks with top EU and Belgian officials.​
The Biden administration has placed great emphasis on repairing relations with U.S. allies around the world, including in Europe, where Trump had strained them with a series of demands ranging from increasing defense spending to trade and cooperation on threats posed by Russia and China.​

There were tensions because NATO was living off American overpayments to their organization while most nations were underfunding it. Here is how few nations meets the NATO funding minimum guideline of 2% GDP

NATO spending by country

True.

And it's a big mess to clean up.
 
The good thing about this whole thing is that Trump was too much of an inept oaf to do any major damage.

President Biden with his experience and skill will be able to, not only repair, but also push forward massive improvements that will counteract and beat back his horrible policies.

Like it or not Russia is an ally. We share technology in the Space Station. Why the strange dude in the White House decided to call Putin a murderer is anyone's guess. To make up for it the incoherent Biden administration decides to send an envoy to the E.U. and blames Trump for it. Meanwhile lefties are led by the nose to think Biden is a hero. No surprises here.

LOL...are you serious? Joe Biden hasn't been right on a foreign affairs position in DECADES! He's an idiot when it comes to foreign policy!
 
Yep back to the status quo the U.S. paying the majority of the money and doing the majority of the work and getting little help in return. The good old days for the rest of the world is back.
