I mean, yeah? That seems like an obvious takeaway, at least for the remaining liberal democracies in the Union. The US is clearly not within that category, it aligns closer to Russia or Hungary.

The questions is whether the EU can stop sliding in that direction itself, not whether the US is "its most important ally". That ship has sailed.
