What this episode covers
For the transatlantic relationship, the last four years of the Trump administration have come with no shortage of ups and downs. Now that Joe Biden has been elected to take the White House in January, a new chapter for the alliance might be on the horizon. Europe is not monolithic, though, and the mood and expectations across the continent are varied-- from cautious optimism in France to relief in Germany to perhaps a mixture of optimism and pessimism in Poland. This week, we’ve fired up Zoom for a post-election roundtable with GMF’s Alexandra de Hoop Scheffer in Paris, Michal Baranowski in Warsaw, Rachel Tausendfreund in Berlin, and Peter Sparding in Washington. The group reflects on how Trump’s foreign policy has affected both the transatlantic relationship and Europe’s internal battles over its role in the world; and looks forward to how these various dynamics could play out in the coming months and years.
