Europe Day marks 75 years of integration and crisis management

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

68% : The United States under Donald Trump has ruptured the transatlantic partnership that was a foundational bedrock of the EU.
65% : "The EU has effectively been very severely tested since the financial crisis of 2008 onwards and the EU has come through that in reasonably good condition," she says.
52% : Several treaties later, 22 more member states, a euro currency, the 2008 financial crash, the UK's exit, plus a war in Ukraine, and you get the EU of today.
52% : "American support for EU integration is gone or has become conditional at best," he says.
51% : "When push came to shove in all those other crises, the EU proved to be resilient and robust," Laffan says.
49% : That has really heightened anxiety in eastern EU capitals.
46% : "The US security blanket allowed [Europe] to build its welfare state, to choose butter over guns," says Matthias Matthijs, an associate professor at Johns Hopkins University who specialises in EU politics.
44% : The EU has gone through several stages of enlargement and has always faced problems in how it takes decisions, Matthijs says.
40% : The EU may finally have to grasp the Viktor Orbán-shaped nettle that has long been a major irritation.
26% : That has made it difficult for the US administration to exert pressure on individual states and allows for a stronger EU-wide retaliation, which officials hope might push Trump to cut a deal.
