The reelection of US President Donald Trump and the formation of a new coalition government in Germany are bringing a new dynamic into US-European security relations and negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. The Trump administration wants a deal with Russia to stop the fighting, but Europe will have to guarantee any potential agreement and fund Ukraine’s security and reconstruction. Meanwhile, ahead of the NATO Summit in The Hague in June, the role of the United States in the Alliance and the future of US-Russian relations remain uncertain, impacting the trajectory of transatlantic and European security.
In this panel discussion, experts and policymakers from Germany, Ukraine, and the United States will explore what Ukraine expects from Germany and the EU. We will assess the role that Berlin is willing to play in boosting European security and supporting Ukraine, and what can be expected from Washington regarding the future of the transatlantic relationship.
