Title: The New Administration and Europe

As part of a series on the new Trump Administration, the School of Foreign Service interviewed Professor Abraham Newman, Director of the BMW Center for German and European Studies

The inauguration of a new U.S. president presents an inflection point, a moment of possibility just before a candidate’s election promises meet the realities of governing. As the U.S. enters the second Trump administration, SFS faculty offer their thoughts on how the 47th president’s statements during the campaign, policies during his first term, and nominations and appointments announced thus far might impact different regions and issue areas around the world. The views expressed are the views of individual SFS faculty and not the views of SFS.

In this discussion, SFS Professor Abraham Newman delves into the challenges Europe faces under the second Trump administration, including economic pressures, security concerns and political fragmentation. Newman discusses the impact of transatlantic uncertainties on Europe’s ability to address the Ukraine crisis and reinvent its economic and geopolitical model. Learn more about Newman’s insights on the evolving transatlantic relationship.
