"Newly-elected conservative European leaders did not win their elections because they are pro-American, they won despite it..."

PJM correspondent Michael van der Galien reports that: "Although the American-European relationship is likely to improve in the coming years, it would be a mistake to assume that the shift to the right is caused by the anti-Americanism of the left or by the pro-Americanism of the right. Sarkozy, Wilders and Merkel did not garner support because they were close to the US: they won as many seats as they did because of domestic issues."
