First, we should dare to believe that what most suits Europe’s interests might also be best for our relationship with our closest ally, the United States. We should, for example, want to prevent the militarization of nuclear energy in Iran precisely because of our concern as Europeans, not because we are allies of the US.
首先，我们要敢于相信，最符合欧洲利益的政策，也是对欧洲与其最亲密盟友美国的双边关系最有利的政策。比如说，我们之所以坚决抵制伊朗的核能军事化，正是因为我们站在欧洲人的立场来考虑问题，而不是因为我们作为美国盟友的身份。
