Escalating tensions in the Middle East, Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine, and intensifying geopolitical competition with China are reshaping the global order and placing increasing pressure on transatlantic cooperation. At the same time, shifting political dynamics in Washington and the upcoming US midterm elections raise questions about the future direction of American foreign and security policy. Against this backdrop, the event will provide an opportunity to engage with H.R. McMaster on the future of U.S. foreign policy and the prospects for transatlantic cooperation in an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape. Drawing on his decades of military service and leadership and his tenure as senior advisor to Donald Trump, he will reflect on current developments and their implications for Europe and the broader international order. Welcome & Opening Remarks: Ambassador Rolf Nikel, Vice President of DGAP Keynote & Discussion: H.R. McMaster, retired lieutenant general and former United States National Security Advisor Moderators: Rachel Tausendfreund, Senior Research Fellow USA/Transatlantic Relations, DGAP Aylin Matlé, Senior Research Fellow Center for Security and Defense, DGAP The event will be held in English.
