Europeans See a Disconnect With the U.S. on Values, Survey Shows

Europeans see the U.S. as an ally out of necessity rather than a partner with common interests and beliefs, according to a survey published ahead of President Joe Biden’s visit to the continent.

Only one in five Europeans view the U.S. as sharing the region’s values, while about twice that amount classify the country as a “necessary partner” because of strategic considerations, according to the study published Wednesday by the European Council on Foreign Relations.
