Is that screwing someone or just naivety/incompetence from the EU? Why on earth did they think Trump would play fair?

It might be both. The UK and the US clearly screwed us. Still I find that the EU was really naive here, hopefully Von der Leyen will learn from this.

Countries do not have friends, only interests.

The first duty of a nation is to its people.

The moment that politicians forget that is the moment they find themselves in predicaments like this.

I'm guessing they thought Biden would play fair.
