episode Trump 2.0 : What future for Europe and the United States ? Ian Lesser analyses the new transatlantic cooperation cover

Description

On January 20th, Donald Trump became the 47th President of the United States. Since that day, Donald Trump has been pressuring Europeans to allocate a larger share of their budget to defense, while simultaneously weakening the security guarantees that the United States provides to Europe through NATO. Forced to take responsibility for themselves, Europeans are compelled to acknowledge how much they remain militarily under the influence of the United States. The path to European strategic autonomy will be long and complex for Europe, which lacks the means to defend its security interests when they diverge from those of the United States. Today on euradio, we talk about the future of the Transatlantic Partnership under the new Trump administration. For that, we have a special guest, Ian Lesser, who holds the Chair in Transatlantic Trade and Economy at the College of Europe in Bruges, Belgium. He is also Vice President at the German Marshall Fund of the United States in Brussels.
