Donald Trump has long criticized the EU, calling it unfair to the U.S. and favoring tariffs and direct deals with Moscow over cooperation with allies. His shift on Ukraine—from Biden’s full support to “Stop the killing”—has further strained transatlantic ties, with European leaders calling him a “traitor” and warning that U.S. unpredictability is a bigger threat than Russia.

In this episode of New Thinking for a New World, former foreign ministers Ana Palacio of Spain and Vygaudas Usackas of Lithuania explore whether Trump’s presidency might, ironically, be just what Europe needs.
