单集简介 ...

French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer have in recent days travelled to the White House with a key message to US President Donald Trump: don’s abandon Europe. Trump’s shift on Ukraine is shaking the transatlantic alliance, causing panic on a continent that has depended on US security assurance for 80 years. Suspicions are deepening that Trump is effectively pulling the plug on decades of US support for Europe. So, are transatlantic relations over? What are the challenges that Europe must overcome if it wants to pursue strategic autonomy? Host Ding Heng is joined by Kathleen Burk, Professor Emeritus of Modern and Contemporary History, University College London; Professor Doug Guthrie from Thunderbird School of Global Management; Christis Tombazos, Associate Professor at Monash University.
