The geopolitical landscape has shifted dramatically in recent years. Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the policies of the Trump administration have fundamentally altered European security dynamics. All this is happening amidst significant increases in defense spending. What does this mean for the future of European and EU defense? What changes are happening now, and what can we expect in the years to come? Join us for an insightful discussion with Rafael Loss, an expert on defense and security policy from the Council on Foreign Relations.
