The Future of Transatlantic Security

The Future of Transatlantic Security

How have the initial weeks of President Trump's second term of office impacted the transatlantic relationship, and will it survive his administration?

In this episode of Global Security Briefing, host Neil Melvin speaks with Dr Liana Fix from the Council on Foreign Relations to explore the evolving transatlantic alliance. With growing security challenges, shifting US priorities, and Europe's push for strategic autonomy, they discuss key questions including:

  • How is US policy toward European security changing?
  • Can Europe defend itself without Washington?
  • Is NATO's future at risk?

The speakers also examine the impact of nationalism, the war in Ukraine, and great power competition.
