Summary/Abstract: Germany’s hesitation regarding military aid for Ukraine and its different perception of cooperation with China make it difficult to rebuild the strategic partnership with the U.S., weakened by the Trump presidency. Differences of interest will not degrade Germany’s position as the key military and political partner for the U.S. in Europe in the near future. For other regional American allies, including Poland, it is important that in the short term U.S.-German differences of opinion do not disrupt aid to Ukraine and, in the long term, do not result in a reduction in the presence of U.S. troops in Europe.
