In an era of global uncertainty, transatlantic relations face unprecedented challenges. How will the U.S. and Europe address pressing threats such as Russia’s geopolitical ambitions, China’s growing influence, and the rising tide of cyberattacks? Furthermore, what shifts can we expect in U.S. foreign and security policy following the recent election? Douglas Lute, former U.S. Ambassador to NATO, will offer an in-depth analysis of these critical issues, with a special focus on the potential impact of Donald Trump’s stance on NATO and transatlantic cooperation.
