European investors and policymakers are increasingly talking about diversification away from U.S. assets and greater strategic autonomy, not because they woke up one morning in a fit of anti-American melodrama, but because the United States keeps behaving like a deranged business partner who thinks “alliance” is just another word for “hostage situation.” Europe still holds enormous amounts of U.S. assets, and nobody is staging some operatic overnight liquidation, but the point is not the speed; it is the direction.
