Eastern Europe’s love affair with US cools

Analysis feature looking at the 2010 edition of the Transatlantic Trends of the German Marshall Fund of the United States. Something seems to have happened between 2003 and 2009 in relatons between the United States and countries in Europe. European attitudes are turning back to front, the east becoming less Atlanticist, and less instinctively pro-American, than 'old Europe' in the west. Eastern Europe appears to be losing its love affair with the US.
