Martin Sandbu (FT) argues if Europe is to decouple from its relations with the USA, to avoid the continuing threats & bullying from the Tangerine Tyrant, then it needs to do three things:

1. pivot its trade away from the US (luckily Trump's tariffs are helping there);

2. redirect capital flows from US-based investments (perhaps more tricky?);

3. expand the EU members' independent military capabilities (will take time).

But as an agenda for the next decade it makes much sense!
