Trump has been abandoned by his European "friends". He is becoming a burden for them.

European right-wing populists are distancing themselves from Donald Trump following the Republican defeat in the U.S. Congress elections. They attribute the loss to Trump's foreign policy, particularly regarding Iran, unmet promises, and rising living costs. While some leaders, like Jordan Bardella from France, acknowledge the impact of Trump's actions, they avoid direct criticism. Others, such as Alice Weidel from Germany, highlight Trump's broken promises on foreign intervention. Analysts suggest that European populists aim to maintain the ideological legacy of Trumpism while avoiding association with the chaos of his administration, as his declining popularity could become a liability for them.
