What does Trump’s re-election mean for NATO and the wider relationship between Europe and the United States? Will he follow through on his threats of quitting the alliance and starting a trade war?
In his book Pax Transatlantica, international relations scholar Jussi Hanhimäki offers some reassuring history. For decades now, people have worried that the transatlantic relationship is on the verge of collapse — yet it’s only gotten stronger. NATO even added members in Trump’s first term!
Jussi and Aaron also discuss populism as a transatlantic phenomenon, the search for overarching ideologies after the end of the Cold War, as well as possible ends to the war in Ukraine.
