We don't get along so well. See the data processing agreements that are just ping-ponging in the courts because they are incompatible with EU laws. This causes similar issues with the use of American social media in Europe as the US' concerns about TikTok. It's an uneasy friendship at best.

Interest in NATO was also waning, but of course Putin's recent aggression has revitalized this in a big way.

Europe doesn't want to be controlled by the US, but that doesn't mean they don't want to be good friends. They want to be equals, or at least more so.
