On January 1, 2025, Poland assumed the EU Council Presidency at a time of heightened security challenges, including the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, foreign election interference, and persistent hybrid attacks targeting Europe’s critical infrastructure. This presidency also coincides with the start of new leadership on both sides of the Atlantic. Poland’s primary focus will be to bolster Europe’s security and defense, with an emphasis on strengthening cooperation with the United States. This raises important questions about the common and divergent security challenges across the Atlantic and what impact could EU’s growing role as a security provider have on the transatlantic relationship and the NATO alliance? Join us for a discussion on these critical questions as Poland’s EU leadership shapes the next six months of transatlantic cooperation.
