While the long term goal seems a good one, we don't yet know what exactly they want, and politicians are very good at seeming. Meanwhile, in the current context, I'd like to see Europe taking a more ambiguous position: Invite all of the non USA first world to increase trade and strengthen stability, giving an alternative to Trump. This would also mean a more ambigous signalling to China. After the NATO budget increase (which for abbig part means buying USA weapons), this kind of action is Vasal Europe crawling back to the safe bosom of King USA.
