In many countries in EU, University costs less than 4k a year. Including NL, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Poland. Only looking at England, which is by far the most expensive country for studying in Europe. Choosing UK is Cherry picking.

In a lot of countries Healthcare is readily available, at least in NL, Austria and Germany. I dont know UK that well, but they are far more like US than the rest of Europe. Anyways I get that US is different from EU and that the US doesn't want EU policies.

In my view US would rather elect another Republican like Trump (Vance for next president) than a Europolicy loving democrat. As for innovation the US has something a lot of countries don't investors with balls who buy up promising startups all around the globe.

Only one out of ten has to succeed, and European Investors are for to busy with their status quo and don't dare to take risks. That's how they will eventually lose the car industry.

Let us be fair.  I didn't cherry pick UK.  You specifically mentioned the UK, hence my reply.  

Quoting your original post:  "Making the rich pay more to fix those issues isn't what US wants, because they definitely don't want to be like inferior friendly countries, such as Canada and UK."

Edit

For the record we do agree, the US, especially middle America, has ZERO interest in EU policies.  

Fair enough, that's mostly because I think the US and EU don't have friendly relations anymore, aside from Nato. These days there are no more issues were interests of US and EU align. Not with Ukraine, not with Israel or China for that part either. Also definitely not on economic (tariff) or the environmental (be it plastic or CO2) part. EU and US also dislike eachother when it comes to big tech and AI.

With the UK/USA that's still different. What is funny in UK though is that higher education is basically free in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
