Transatlantic Shifts and the Future of EU Security – with Leszek Jażdżewski and Ricardo Silvestre

In this episode of the Liberal Europe Podcast, Leszek Jażdżewski (Fundacja Liberte!) and Ricardo Silvestre (Movimento Liberal Social) discuss the evolving role of NATO and the European Union in global security amidst shifting U.S. foreign policy under the second Trump administration. They explore whether Europe can step up as a security provider, how transatlantic relations are reshaping, and what this means for the EU’s strategic autonomy in the face of growing geopolitical tensions.

This podcast is produced by the European Liberal Forum in collaboration with Movimento Liberal Social and Fundacja Liberté!, with the financial support of the European Parliament. Neither the European Parliament nor the European Liberal Forum are responsible for the content or for any use that be made of.
