Abstract
Long the backbone of the Western alliance system, the United States seems to be an increasingly fragile country. While some still hope that the Trump years will be just a bump in the road, the signs are piling up: what the United States is experiencing today may be a structural decomposition of its constitutional order.
And as the situation in Washington worsens, Europe is faced with urgent, potentially existential questions: What if the United States stopped being a reliable partner, not for a few years — but for good? What would be the consequences of a collapse of the state in America on European security and the European economy? How can we prepare for such a scenario?
