U.S. vs. EUROPE: Why the Transatlantic Partnership Is Falling Apart

The S&P is hitting new highs—but Trish Regan and Rob Hordon argue it could be going even higher if not for one thing: geopolitical friction reshaping America's alliances in real time.

In this segment, they break down Italy's economic crisis (135% debt-to-GDP, defense spending at just 1.7% of GDP), Marco Rubio's pointed visit to Rome, and why the U.S. and European interests are no longer aligned — with serious implications for NATO, energy security, and global capital flows.

Topics covered:

• 🏛️ Why Iran fears are the single biggest drag on market momentum right now

• 🇮🇹 Italy's debt crisis: 135% debt-to-GDP, 1.7% NATO spending, and a government choosing EU alliances over Washington

• ⚔️ Marco Rubio's Rome visit — and what the Sigonella base dispute really signals

• 🌍 81 years of U.S. investment in European defense — and why the math no longer works

• 👥 Immigration's political impact on European foreign policy decisions

• 🔄 Why U.S. and European strategic interests have fundamentally diverged
