Trump 2.0: How should the EU approach an isolationist America?

The 2024 US presidential election will be closely watched. After all, the potential return of Donald Trump to the White House would have a significant effect on Europe’s security dynamics with profound implications for the European Union. This is raising some uncomfortable questions.
A new policy brief (eu.boell.org/e...) by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), commissioned by the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung European Union, explores how European transatlanticists should approach such a scenario.
This online discussion will address the following questions: How would a Trump 2.0 administration differ from the first and what would the implications be for Europe? How could the EU strategically engage with a more isolationist administration, particularly in the context of the NATO alliance and war in Ukraine? In the face of a changing transatlantic landscape, how can the EU assert itself as a proactive player in international relations and contribute to global security efforts?
