Europe, North America, Power & Security Watch Now: The Future of Transatlantic Security

By Perry World House and the German Marshall Fund of the United States

The transatlantic community faces a pivotal moment in early 2021. The United States is undergoing one of the most momentous – and tumultuous – transfers of power in modern history, the United Kingdom has left the European Union, and the COVID-19 pandemic continues to ravage countries on both sides of the Atlantic. In this challenging geostrategic environment, what should be the top priorities for transatlantic security leaders?

Perry World House and the German Marshall Fund of the United States convened a roundtable of high-level transatlantic leaders, including former High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton, President of the German Marshall Fund Karen Donfried, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, former U.S. National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster, Estonian Ambassador-at-Large for Cyber Diplomacy Heli Tiirmaa-Klaar, and former Deputy-Secretary General of NATO Alexander “Sandy” Vershbow, to discuss these questions and more.
