About the discussion
The leadership change in the United States and the ever-evolving global dynamics pose a significant challenge for Europe to redefine its geopolitical positioning. In a world shaped by Trump, Putin, and Xi, the question is becoming increasingly urgent: How can Europe strengthen its independence in security and defence policy without abandoning existing alliances such as NATO?
Helmut BRANDSTÄTTER, Member of the European Parliament (Renew Europe) and Velina TCHAKAROVA, political scientist and geopolitical expert will provide fascinating insights and discuss perspectives for a forward-looking European security strategy.
