As #JustinTrudeau said, the π... Dumbest Trade War in Historyπ.
The intentional(?) destruction of the #US superpower by the #MAGAmerican Regime might yet proof a boon for a European renaissance and a more multipolar word than the autocrats Trump, Putin, Xi hoped 4

... they all banded together and formed a new #FreeTradeArea, based on current #FTA's and, in part, a new #DefenseUnion? --I've dubbed this #CEUM for #Canada, #Europe, and #Mexico.1) The #EU's new deal with #Mercosur could also be a nice extension and would help to fend off the West's (real) #YellowPeril in the #Americas.
Once the #MAGATs are out off office again, a "sanitized" #US can join, too.

You are asking an absolutely decisive question: who can lead Europe?
Alas, so far there is no-one one the horizon. I recently phased it differently, looking at #DeGaulle's European policy:
"Alas, #Macron is no visionary, precognitive leader like PrΓ©sident #CharlesDeGaulle was. With today's hindsight, he rightly distrusted the #Americans:..."

You are very welcome.
Do you think such a Euro-North-American #FreeTradeArea, omitting the #MAGAmerica, would get a majority in #Canada?
My idea is to start deepening it towards a #DefenseUnion and other areas, similar to precursors of the #EU.

finally form a #EuropeanDefenseForce.
That must be equipped and financed. A "#DefenseUnion' is indispensable now.
Also, in economic terms, as I don't disagree with your current #UKpol assessment, and as I do believe that πALL European countries...

...precursors to the #EuropeanUnion, like the #EC, as well as (finally!) a #DefenseUnion, should be on the table. Non-EU neighbors, such as the #UK and #Turkey should be considered as further partners. Too many different treaties are red tape slowing down decision-making processes and thus resilience in a chaotic environment.
Concurrently, the project of a #EuropeanArmy...
