A strong right wing tending to dictatorship will always threaten a democratic country, whoever backs the right-wing populists. No foreign power needed, though in this case we all know better. Russia tries to interfere everywhere, all are aware of it. So does the US.
Perfectly understandable to trade with countries close to one's own country. What sense does it make to import US soy beans or LPG gas over 4000 miles across the atlantic when no one in Europe needs or wants it?
Politics, or better to please the US alright. Apart from that?
Trade with the US with Trump at the whelm, who tries to cut all ties, cancel treaties, accusing all other countries of betraying HIM, how do you want to trade with a buffoon?
All need oil ok, and it is there in abundance, even without the US producing it. Why does the US squeeze out its last reserves with expensive fracking and polluting the environment, in this situation? Why does it sell Alaska to just of all chinese companies for exploration? For an outside observer it does not make sense.
