Relations between USA and its former Allies broke down completly under the Trump administration.
France distanced itself from USA, with President Macron taking as much distance to Trump as possible, after his attempt to try build up a functional relation failed.
Even the UK distanced itself from USA, when Trump acted more and more erractic.
The biggest break happened between Germany and USA though. Merkel doesnt even talk with Trump anymore and swinged into a tactic to fundamentally oppose all his international proposals.
In his 4 year presidency Trump did not make a single official state visit to Germany, the 2nd strongest nation in the western block of nations. As revance Merkel said she wont attend his G7 meeting, which forced Trump to
cancel the show completly. This back and forth goes stronger each day but in last weeks Merkel switched to completly ignore him and hope he is gone soon.
Its said that Bidens most pressing work will be to reestablish the relations that Trump broke apart.
Reestablish working communication formats with Germany, France and other european allies. Start a apology tour most likely.
Some damage might be repaired but diplomats say, some is everlasting, because the lack of trust that was created from Trump.
