Carnegie Europe’s Judy Dempsey joined Radio Times’s Marty Moss-Coane to discuss the 2017 Munich Security Conference, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence’s visit to Brussels, and the state of the transatlantic relationship. Dempsey argued that U.S. President Donald Trump’s attitude is intrinsically anti-European and is designed to support populist movements that are spreading throughout Europe.

This interview was originally aired on Radio Times with Marty Moss-Coane.
