Europe with no cards to play: Erdoğan, Trump, and Europe's weaknesses

Europe with no cards to play: Erdoğan, Trump, and Europe's weaknesses

Turkey's offensive into northeastern Syria is moving at an unprecedented pace with grave consequences. Europe's utter irrelevance in the face of US withdrawal from the Turkish/Syrian border has been thrown in to stark light, particularly as it fails to take responsibility for European Isis members in the region. Europes weakness on migration and the refugee crisis as a whole has also been highlighted. What can and should Europe do at this crisis point? As events unfold, Asli Aydıntaşbaş, senior policy fellow with the Wider Europe programme joins host Mark Leonard from Turkey. Mark is also joined by head of ECFR's MENA programme, Julien Barnes-Dacey. Jeremy Shapiro, our research director, provides insight into Trump and Erdoğan's relationship breakdown and what US foreign policy under Trump may continue to look like.Bookshelf:"The Fall of the Ottomans: The Great War in the Middle East, 1914-1920" By Eugene Rogan"The Noise of Time" by Julien Barnes"Chimera" by Alexandros YannisThis podcast was recorded on the 10th of October
