Escalating tensions with Iran have laid bare President Trump’s split with the United States’ traditional European allies.
Several times this past week, the United States appeared out-of-step with European countries on whether Iran is presenting enough of a new threat to justify a military buildup and the partial evacuation of U.S. diplomats from neighboring Iraq.
Trump and European leaders have had a number of spats since the early days of his presidency on everything from trade to defense spending to climate change.
