Kristine Berzina

Kristine Berzina, a senior fellow focusing on U.S.-European defense relations, and Abraham Newman, a Georgetown University professor specializing in globalization, tackle the implications of the 2025 U.S. National Security Strategy. They discuss Europe's perception of the NSS as paternalistic and the potential risks of U.S. support for far-right movements. The conversation highlights contrasts in free speech norms, historical U.S. coercion, and Europe's struggle for strategic autonomy in tech and defense. They emphasize the need for Europe to reclaim its agency and foster innovation.
