European defence in the new Trump era
All over Europe and in the corridors of Nato policy makers are discussing the implications for the continent of the Trump victory in the American presidential election. For 70 years the alliance with the USA has been the foundation stone of European defence. During his last term in office, it was reported that Trump wanted to take the US out of Nato. That didn’t happen but he made clear his discontent at the lack of defence spending among member states.
Can that alliance can be maintained, if so on what terms and if not, what then?
Guests:
Heather Conley, a senior advisor to the think tank, the German Marshall Fund's (GMF) board of trustees
Elisabeth Braw, who is now at the Atlantic Council’s Transatlantic Security Initiative
Shashank Joshi, Defence Editor, of The Economist
Presenter: David Aaronovitch
Producers: Charlotte McDonald, Kirsteen Knight and Beth Ashmead Latham
Sound engineer: Rod Farquhar
Editor: Richard Vadon
Production Co-ordinator: Gemma Ashman
