The US has, from a policy perspective, become far more protectionist in the past 7 years and this is only looking to continue. I would not expect a direct correlation between the US and European economies going forward and if the protectionism only gets worst I would expect the economies, GDPs and the like, to greatly diverge in favor of the US.
