The room is ready and so is the debate. As tensions rise between the EU and Trump’s America, questions loom large: Is the U.S. still Europe’s ally? What does the future hold for transatlantic diplomacy?

At 11:05 CET, Nik Gowing moderates a crucial session at the Delphi Economic Forum in Brussels: “Navigating New and Uncertain Relations Between Europe and Trump’s United States.” The backdrop is tariffs, shifting alliances, and growing political unease. So, the conversation could not be timelier.
This session dives into the rising tensions. These include Trump’s tariff declarations that have reignited old fears and sparked new geopolitical uncertainties. The debate features expert insights from Ian Lesser, Karel Lannoo, Dimitris Kairidis, and Nikos Papandreou. The panel confronts what’s at stake—economically, diplomatically, and politically.
Is economic retaliation inevitable? Or can a new form of diplomacy still emerge?
