Spheres of influence are back as tools of foreign policy: the American continent is claimed as a US domain (as shown in Venezuela), and now, arguably, there are claims over the Middle East (as shown by the military operation in Iran). Where does this ambition stop? Western Europe has close cultural, economic, financial and defence ties with the US.
