Europe has been moving geopolitically closer to the US over the last few years as, most notably, Europe moves quickly away from Russian energy and toward US energy. We have also seen increased purchasing of US arms by European countries. Have a look at F-35 and HIMARS sales, for example. Poland, in particular, went on a huge buying spree for US and Korean arms.
Furthermore, European countries are building manufacturing plants in the US, rather than making the stuff in Europe and shipping it over. This is most apparent with German cars.
To answer your question: "Who do you see Europe collaborating more with in the future", and the answer is resoundingly the US. With upticks in collaboration with SE Asian countries that aren't China.
Europe is moving closer to what US once was, and the US is moving closer to Russia. How ironic
