100 days of Trump: the growing dismay in Europe
The president’s insults have soured the continent on their cousins
ASKED WHAT he thinks of America nowadays, 18-year-old Rafah grins: “Tariffs, man. Kind of fucked up.” He and his buddy Chris are hanging out in a riverside park in the Dutch city of Arnhem, next to the bridge made famous by the movie “A Bridge Too Far”. In September 1944, in an ill-fated British and American operation here, America’s 82nd airborne division suffered over 1,400 casualties; memorials to the fallen dot the countryside. Yet as Donald Trump marks his 100th day in office on April 29th America inspires not so much gratitude as wariness. “We were good allies, but Trump ditched Europe,” says Chris. “It’s like with a friend who screws you over. You stop trusting him, because he might do it again.”
