The upcoming US presidential election will not only significantly influence the United States but also extend its effects to the European Union. The election's outcome will have profound implications for the global economy, climate policies, social movements, and geopolitical dynamics.

Against the backdrop of various crises, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, and China's growing geopolitical importance, transatlantic security relations are at a critical juncture. In the year of the EU and US presidential elections, our goal is to highlight long-term options for cooperation and collaboration between the United States and European nations in security policy.

Our luncheon discussion event will specifically focus on the impact on transatlantic and international security. We aim to delve into important questions, including long-term developments in the European security architecture and the potential impact of the US elections on transatlantic security cooperation.

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Ian Lesser, Executive Director of the Brussels Office at the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMFUS) and Dr. Giovanni Grevi, Senior Fellow at the Centre for Security, Diplomacy and Strategy (CSDS) of the Brussels School of Governance.

This discussion offers an opportunity to assess the potential impact on US-EU security relations and deliberate on possible solutions for future transatlantic security issues.
