This event, Testing the Alliance: NATO and the U.S.-EU partnership in the Trump Era, will examine the extraordinary state of affairs brought on by the Trump administration’s tough talk about NATO. A panel of experts will move beyond the drama, separating rhetoric from reality and considering how Washington and Brussels can work together to chart an better course.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS ON THE ROAD is a new initiative designed to help the magazine better connect with their readers abroad through live events held in cities around the world. Through panel discussions, conferences, and talks, our editors and authors will share their insights on the critical issues facing the world today, bringing to life the high-level conversation that takes place in the related pages of their website.
