I would think Europe having free speech would more than likely keep them as an ally. If we give up on Europe (people with free speech, can change the nations thinking-look right here and see), they may become like the Chinese-and become our rivals. One more nation(s) to be concerned about. Maybe they are not much of an ally now, but once we put the distance between them and us with treating them like China, Saudi Arabia, or even Russia we may have to search forever for an ally in that region. Just my opinion on the matter. I don't know what Trump, or his administration, have in mind.
