This week was marked by Joe Biden's European tour punctuated by the G7 meeting in Cornwall, the NATO summit in Brussels, the USA / Europe summit, then the meeting with Vladimir Poutine.
This visit was intended as a signal of the return of the USA on the international scene.
A return much hoped for by the Europeans who have obtained an improvement in their relations with Washington on the commercial level with, to begin with, this five-year truce in the more than 17-year-old conflict between the two aeronautical giants, Boeing and Airbus.

But, many files are still pending, subjects of tension between the two shores of the Atlantic.
Look at this marathon visit punctuated by a series of summits and what it reveals about the start of the Biden presidency and the tone that wants to be set.
Do the Europeans have the means to re-establish balanced relations with the USA?
