The European Union with its obvious trump cards should be an active and efficient player on the international arena. Such are the expectations of the United States formulated especially by the administration of Barack Obama. However, from the American perspective, the EU did not prove successful as an important international actor, engaged in resolving global problems and prepared to assume greater responsibility for the course of events in the world. This inertia of the EU resulted in a marginalization of Europe in American politics, as manifested by the latter’s pivot to the Pacific Rim. Only developments in the Ukraine which are an effect of imperial tendencies in Russia’s activity triggered greater activity and coherence in American and European politics. But today it is still difficult to foresee whether the EU will want to live up to the role of an efficient player on the international arena in accord with American expectations.
