Faced with Donald Trump’s return to the White House and his threat to transatlantic relations, the EU is woefully ill-equipped to act swiftly on foreign policy and security issues. An EU Security Council would go a long way in empowering it to respond more effectively.
In response to great-power rivalry and the weaponization of interdependence, the EU has adopted a geopolitical approach to economic statecraft.

Key leaders cannot prepare fast enough on issues such as NATO, Ukraine, and trade.
Europe and the United States are increasingly at odds over how to manage the challenges posed by China. A united, coherent transatlantic approach is urgently needed to safeguard shared interests.
Emboldened by Trump’s win, Orbán is determined to place Hungary at the center of European—and even global—decisionmaking. His European partners must think creatively and strategically to manage his disruptive influence.
