The US population that would burrow further, will burrow further no matter what Europe does. They’re in a self-destructive cycle that requires no outside catalysts at this point.
The other half of the population would invariably be hurt alongside them, but I don’t think they’d suddenly turn and see Europe as the bad guy. Some of them would probably consider exercising jus sanguinis claims to European nationality, no matter how flimsy, in an attempt to leave their crumbling economy and fascistic government.
If Europe thinks this will merely be another American Civil War, localized to some far away hemisphere, I ask that they consider whether the situation more closely parallels World War II. There may come a day where the US attacks a NATO ally like Canada, triggering an Article 5 response. A Barbarossa in 2 years time, a D-Day in 4.

Bit hard to imagine a direct world war between nuclear powers.
