===Relations with the United States===
In December the United States issued its updated National Security Strategy document which noted in part:
"The [[NATO war in Ukraine|Ukraine War]] has had the perverse effect of increasing [[Europe]]’s, especially [[Germany]]’s, external dependencies. Today, German chemical companies are building some of the world’s largest processing plants in [[China]], using [[Russian oil|Russian gas]] that they cannot obtain at home. The [[Trump 2.0|Trump Administration]] finds itself at odds with European officials who hold unrealistic expectations for the [[war]] perched in unstable minority governments, many of which trample on basic [[principle]]s of [[democracy]] to suppress opposition. A large European majority wants [[peace]], yet that desire is not translated into [[policy]], in large measure because of those [[government]]s’ [[subversion]] of [[democracy|democratic processes]]. This is [[strategic]]ally important to the [[United States]] precisely because European states cannot reform themselves if they are trapped in [[political]] [[crisis]]."
