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, besides I don't think the US and EU have friendly relations anymore to begin with, 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. 

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.

In the US, many advanced degrees in STEM are free.  My MS in chemistry was 100% free and that is very normal/typical.  

And yeah, no doubt we are not playing well with the world today, we need to do better.  The US is flawed, no doubt.  But after living in the UK for a number of years, returning home made me a lot more grateful.  The US has a lot of opportunity and isn't near as bad as people make it out.  Just my experience.  I always tell people I left for the UK as a liberal, returned as a conservative (but very middle aisle).
