À entendre certains politologues, les résultats de l’élection présidentielle américaine ne diminueront pas l’importance de l’UE à Washington, car l’Europe a un rôle à jouer. La plupart des analystes conservateurs ne partagent toutefois pas cet avis.
Europe gets rare mention in the stump speeches of Democrat Barack Obama and Republican Mitt Romney. In a debate on foreign policy last month, Europe was mostly absent, except for a references to Greece. Yet the Greek crisis and Europe’s leadership challenges has provided fuel for the American right, which is more dismissive of the European project and has led efforts to block US contributions for international bailouts of troubled eurozone countries. “The euro has always been a political project more than an economic project, so it is not surprising that it has run into serious difficulties,” said Ted Bromund, a senior research fellow in Anglo-US relations at the conservative Heritage Foundation in Washington. Heritage has a long history of influencing Republican policy and advising Republican presidents.
Speaking to European journalists, Bromund said the United State must stop supporting political and economic integration in the EU, which has only encouraged the drive toward the creation of what he sees as a fundamentally undemocratic federal Europe that is frequently anti-American in outlook.
