About
Donald Trump's victory in the US has the potential to upend transatlantic relations as they have existed for the last seven decades and since the end of the Cold War. Although there are still more unknowns than knowns as to what his precise foreign policy choices will be, democratic European leaders have been rattled by his campaign statements, in particular his views about alliance commitments. This is being closely followed by Russia who has applauded Trump's success and has openly expressed hopes of capitalising on it.
Together with our Richard von Weizsäcker Fellow Natalie Nougayrède we will spend an interactive Lunch Talk discussing possible consequences for Europe's security architecture as well as its domestic politics. Might a Yalta 2.0 - an idea seemingly entertained in Moscow - now become possible? And to what degree will the question of upholding liberal values within the transatlantic community weigh on this new era as it unfolds?
