Trump berated and baffled European allies. They aren't sad to see him go.

President Trump called Europe a “foe.” He said the continent’s cities were immigrant-ridden, dangerous “no-go zones.” He threw leaders into a panic with threats to withdraw from NATO.

And as Europeans watched the United States elect Joe Biden as its next president, many embraced his promises to respect long-standing alliances and regain the world’s trust in his country.

Few Europeans expect Inauguration Day to repair all the damage — the close election suggests that Trumpism will endure in some capacity, and the divergence of U.S. and European interests is part of a long-term trend. But policymakers here say they will be glad for summits without Trump there to dominate the agenda and burn valuable face time complaining that Russian President Vladimir Putin has not been invited.

“It has been like a roller coaster,” said Margot Wallstrom, who was Sweden’s foreign minister until last year, including when Trump mysteriously warned his supporters, “You look at what’s happening last night in Sweden.”

We may have guessed; no-one but the participants knew for sure. I'm looking forward to some juicy morsels of truth from other world leaders.
