Here's a video from this year from a French General that is more up to date on the current vibes https://www.youtube.com/shorts/XQJ5YEsNQws

And for some more data than anecdote, the current polling where the US is now 14 points behind China in net approval. https://news.gallup.com/poll/707945/china-edges-past-global-...

The video is kind of funny. Although in terms of military procurement you have to think past the present administration really.

Eh, the US was also hated in Europe as Biden was sending lots of money to Ukraine in the wake of Russia's invasion:

You can see even with Biden as president, around half of Europe's population regarded the US unfavorably. This was at a time when the US was sending more aid per capita than almost all European countries:

There's no point in trying to please these people. They'll accuse the US of warmongering one year, then demand that the US help them fight a war the next year.
