It will take a lot more than these, along with plenty of time and pain, to regain the trust of the rest if the world.
Mostly it will require a turn, in behalf of the USA, to a functioning democracy, with checks and balances, a functioning senate and house of representatives, a functioning justice, a functioning administration, a working economy, fair trade and so on.
I m not very optimistic that the USA will do it in my lifetime if ever.
Don’t overestimate European leaders. They will jump back to depending on US for defense at the first sign of any stabilization in US. There’s still barely any real resistance. They are doing the absolute minimum necessary to preserve sovereignty but not much more. Germany sided with US over its EU allies just couple weeks ago.
Being crass, our “leaders” aren’t super-overtly sucking off Trump because right now it’s not good PR. Von der Leyen is barely wiping the orange off her face as it is. Just wait until this simmers down just a little bit and they’ll be deepthroating him again.
