Both powers have been handling in their own interest.

Biden sending funding to Ukraine has been good for Europe. Trump stopping this funding has been bad for Europe.

Biden wants to keep the American hegemony.

Trump wants to isolate the USA in favour of companies inside the country.

The EU hasn't been arming themselves because there was no need for it. Not threatening with weapons is being a quite attractive trade partner. The lack of weapons caused Europe to be more stable when cooperating with eachother.

There has been a major history of infighting in Europe. So unifying ourselves after the 2nd world war is a major benefit for us.

Now that we are more unified, we can rearm ourselves properly. With hopefully a European army that defends the whole European union.
