Since Trump took office, why has the relationship between virtue and virtue drifted away?

The relationship between the United States and Germany has gradually drifted away because of a series of policies after Trump was elected president. In particular, Trump's remarks this year, such as the priority of the United States and the trade war between the United States and China, have also intensified the friction between the United States and other countries. Actually, it's not just waiting. The United States is drifting away from many European countries.

Since Trump took office, the United States has gradually drifted away from the European Union and Germany, and the Atlantic Ocean seems to be getting wider and wider. In fact, the current contradiction between the United States and Europe and virtue is by no means a simple struggle for material interests, but a profound difference rooted in the concept level. The Trump administration's policy system of economic nationalism, national mercantilism and trade protectionism is essentially to reverse the process of economic globalization and European regional integration, dismantle the international multilateral trading system represented by the WTO, and reshape the global economic governance structure.

The continuous advancement of European integration is the driving force for the EU to exert its influence, and Germany's export-oriented manufacturing system is deeply dependent on the institutional support of the European Common Market and the Eurozone, so both the EU and Germany sincerely advocate economic globalism and Euroregionalism. On the concept of the general direction of world economic operation, the EU, Germany and the United States are strangers, but they coincide with China.

The United States and Germany are gradually drifting away, but the relationship with China seems to the United States that the outbreak of the trade war has made the relationship between the two countries drift away. However, Europe, Germany and the United States have great differences in the general direction of economic operation, but they are in line with China's ideas. Therefore, this is a good development opportunity for China.
