As the presidential transition gets underway, our event will consider both the immediate and long-term potential impacts on European security, including:
- What approach is the new US administration likely to take on European security?
- How might US support for Ukraine be affected once the new administration takes office?
- What is the emerging view in Europe on the outcome of the US presidential election and its impact on European security?
- Where should Europeans focus their efforts on defence and security cooperation? Which formats should they do this in?
- What should Europe offer to the US as the new administration defines its national security priorities?
