Now is the time for unity, not division.
I've seen several statements from various governments (including my own) along the lines of "we need to ensure we get preferential treatment from trump".
This is the wrong approach entirely. Begging for scraps from a lunatic's table is not the way out of this mess, uniting and leaving the lunatic to babble on his own is.
The free world cannot afford to start jostling each other for advantage, we have to come together and create our own bonds that exclude hostility. The US is one country, regardless of how large their economy is, we can do just fine without them.
Let's not descend into squabbling amongst ourselves. That's precisely what they're trying to achieve.
