• The international geoeconomic order that was established after the Second World War has been disintegrating for years.
• The USA has begun distancing itself from this order as it aligns less and less with its interests.
• The first Trump government encouraged the use of tariffs for non-trade reasons, a trend that has been maintained under the Biden administration.
• We are witnessing an economic 'cold war', with the USA and China as the main actors, leaving the rest of the world, including Europe, on standby.
• Europe, previously benefiting from globalization, appears divided and disoriented in this new panorama.
• China, with a large domestic market and a focus on being a global leader in key sectors, is preparing to face the maneuvers of the Trump administration.
• European countries must avoid behaving with a 'small country' mentality and prioritize a global approach to avoid being relegated in this new geoeconomic scene.

Conclusion: It is essential that Europe takes action, assumes more risks, eliminates barriers to the single market, and creates a real European defense to compete in this new geoeconomic order.
