These years spent pushing US friends away has given them some pause — even when trouble is at the door.

French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel look at US President Donald Trump during a photo op at the NATO summit in December.As President Donald Trump signaled earlier this month that the US would back away from a conflict with Iran, he called on US allies to withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal and for NATO to play a bigger role in the Middle East.

"The Europeans aren't with us ... because we pulled out of the Iranian nuclear deal against all of their interests, by ourself, and that's what created all the escalation to begin with," Ian Bremmer, a foreign-policy expert, told Insider.After spending much of his presidency insulting and pushing away the closest US allies, President Donald Trump now wants their help with Iran. But in many ways, they've already abandoned him.

"The French should be with us. They're not," Bremmer added. "The Europeans aren't with us ... because we pulled out of the Iranian nuclear deal against all of their interests, by ourself, and that's what created all the escalation to begin with."
