Can Europe Rise to the Challenge?

from The Call by the Global Intelligence Desk · host The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Global Intelligence Desk

Amid a dramatically shifting global environment, Europe enters 2026 with pressure coming from every direction: security threats from Russia, economic threats from China, political fragmentation, a lagging digital sector, energy insufficiency, rapid aging, surging public debt, and a stagnant economy suffocating in red tape. The stakes for business will be significant, given the trade flows across the Atlantic, by some measures the biggest bilateral economic relationship in the world. U.S. demands over Greenland are the latest sign Europe can no longer rely on the United States for the balance of its hard security while focusing on ever more generous social programs.  But what is Europe’s path to revival? Can it rise to the challenge?
