Can the European Union really decouple from Donald Trump\u2019s America \u2014 economically, politically, and strategically?<\/p>\n
In this episode of EU Confidential, host Sarah Wheaton speaks with Mateusz Morawiecki, former Polish prime minister and president of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) party\u00a0about his call for an \u201cEconomic NATO,\u201d an even stronger economic and political alliance between the EU, the U.S. and others as counterbalance to China and Russia. His vision goes against a mainstream trend we\u2019re observing across European capitals as they seek to decouple from Trump\u2019s America.<\/p>\n
To explain what this EU-U.S. divorce looks like in practice, Sarah is joined by Zoya Sheftalovich, POLITICO\u2019s Chief EU correspondent.<\/p>\n
Plus, some exciting news, we introduce the Brussels Playbook Podcast, our new daily show launching next week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Can the European Union really decouple from Donald Trump\u2019s America \u2014 economically, politically, and strategically?
