Yes.

I visted Canada back in 2017.  Ran into a Canadian citizen who volunteered
in the US armed forces so he could see more of the world.  He also wanted
his kids to have a choice as to which country they lived in.  Whenever
people found out I was from the US, politics became a topic they liked to ask
me about.  This fellow pointed out that Europeans dislike the US... until
they need our money or our troops.

One thing I liked about Trump was that I was pretty sure these fair-weather
friends of ours were not going to get these things for free like they did
from previous administrations.
