NEW | The Trump administration has depleted strategic trust across the Atlantic: Europeans can no longer rely on a partnership with Washington based on hope or deference. By fostering its sovereignty, Europe can restore the balance of #transatlantic relations and empower itself to define its own future, argues Giovanni Grevi: https://lnkd.in/ePRzG-Ms #StrategicEurope #Europe #US

NEW | #TTP: Can Europeans Build Their Independent Extended Nuclear Deterrent?
