Скачать или смотреть Will global tensions, and Trump's unpredictability, lead to a European defence union?

Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine continues and 30th April marks 100 days of Trump, who is threatening to cut US funding for NATO.

Many EU leaders are calling for increases in defence spending and for a stronger coordinating – and perhaps financing – role for EU institutions.
Meanwhile, there will be an EU-UK summit on 19 May with defence cooperation at the top of the agenda.

This webinar will look at how Europe might deliver – and pay for - stronger collective defence, how will equipment be procured and what an EU-UK defence and security pact might look like.

Join us for an in-depth in-conversation webinar on this topic featuring the following great speakers.

Nick Harvey, European Movement UK CEO and former Minister for the Armed Forces (Chair)

Professor Amelia Hadfield, Director of CIFAL Surrey, Founder of the Centre for Britain and Europe, and Head of Politics & IR at the University of Surrey

Tim Hames, former columnist and chief leader writer at The Times. In January, Tim published the book, Trump II: Why He Won - What It Means For The World.
