I think this primarily stems from Europe losing its strategic value for the US. When it was a powerful bloc that was becoming economically integrated with Russia and China, that was something the US was deeply invested in preventing. However, now that European economies are ruined, the US isn’t really worried about Europe being a problem anymore. Their shift is towards figuring out how to deal with Russia and China.

Quite notable that europe isn’t even being considered as “core”.
lol right
They didn’t even get a seat at the recent meeting between the US, Russia, and China.
It’s worth noting that Europeans largely played themselves by being completely intransigent.
