Not everything is about trade wars. All it takes is for the US to say they will not follow NATO security agreements and follow through with that, and if you think that is not possible you haven’t paid attention to the shit show over here. It’s a serious problem and we are not fixing the holes that appeared in recent years.
The EU doesn't need the US to defend itself -- who's going to invade? Russia? With what army?
Power projection is another thing but we don't really want to do that anyways. And the French would rejoice they'd finally get their EU army project really going.
