I mean, any evidence to back any of that up?
Just logic. The US always acts in its own interests - that is not a criticism, all countries do it. It is palpably losing interest in Europe, American members of this forum are saying it repeatedly. Why would a 21st century US Administration help a small European country when there would be much more to gain from demonstrating solidarity with the Central & South American countries on their doorstep and attracting the support of millions of Hispanic US voters?
