Though that’s only true for the first few years. Once alternatives are established and trade with America is reduced it will be less and less until America will be not interesting anymore
Unless Trump starts ww3 we will have a few more painful years of transition and then the new normal will be normal and the better deals will win, which won’t be with America.
We must not forget that it’s not only about trade. There’s also a military dimension, and if all US support to Ukraine ends abruptly and completely, then there’s a very real chance that Putin will win soon. That creates an entirely new security situation, where Russia may well attack EU countries next (like the Baltics, for example).

One can only hope.
