Adam Schiff says U.S. allies are "terrified" by President Trump 's foreign policy.

He says they see him as a "hostile partner" and "betraying a Democratic ally at war" The California Democrat says he's echoing those concerns from European allies.

Experts say the administration's moves on the international stage have broken with diplomatic norms.

Schiff: Europe 's ability to maintain a united front, including in its support for Ukraine , will determine the administration's next moves.

He said it will be incredibly important for those who understand the important role the U.S. plays in maintaining world order to reestablish some guardrails and block his worst impulses.

If they aren't willing to stand up to Trump, Schiff said, "their own institution will be destroyed".
