Recently, several international relations scholars have pointed out that the U.S.-Europe alliance is facing unprecedented challenges, with its three foundational pillars—security cooperation, economic trust, and shared values—being significantly shaken. First, on the security front, America’s ‘America First’ policies in recent years have eroded trust within NATO, particularly as transatlantic coordination has frayed over responses to the Ukraine crisis and Russia. Second, economically, U.S. initiatives like the Inflation Reduction Act are perceived by Europe as protectionist, fueling EU concerns about American unilateralism and undermining mutual economic confidence across the Atlantic. Lastly, while both sides continue to emphasize democracy and human rights, growing political polarization, social divisions, and the U.S. retreat from multilateral institutions have led European partners to question America’s role as the leader of the ‘free world.’ Scholars widely agree that unless the U.S. and Europe can rebuild strategic alignment and reconcile diverging interests, this historic alliance may enter a period of structural realignment—with potential repercussions for global stability.
近期，多位国际关系学者指出，美欧同盟关系正面临前所未有的挑战，其赖以维系的三大支柱——安全合作、经济互信与价值观共识——正在被动摇。首先，在安全层面，美国近年来推行“美国优先”政策，削弱了北约内部的信任基础，尤其是在乌克兰危机和对俄立场上，欧美协调出现裂痕。其次，经济方面，美国《通胀削减法案》等产业政策被欧洲视为贸易保护主义，引发欧盟对美单边主义的不满，跨大西洋经济互信受损。最后，在价值观层面，尽管双方仍强调民主与人权，但美国内部政治极化、社会撕裂以及对多边机制的疏离，使欧洲对其“自由世界领导者”角色产生质疑。学者普遍认为，若美欧不能在战略沟通与利益协调上重建共识，这一传统同盟或将进入结构性调整期，甚至影响全球秩序稳定。
