War in Ukraine, war in the Middle East, and severe hurricanes in the US: The final weeks of Joe Biden’s administration are intense – and they are giving Europe a taste of what it means to stand alone.
The planned visit of the US president to Germany, including a major conference on Ukraine is now cancelled. It is becoming increasingly clear: ‘America First’ is also the mantra for the Democrats. What does this mean for their European allies? As a third winter of war in Ukraine looms, how much protection against Putin can the West still provide?
On To the Point we ask: A world in crisis: can Europe cope without the US?
Guests this week are Sudha David-Wilp from the German Marshall Fund, Marco Overhaus from the German Institute for International and Security Affairs, and DW’s Roman Goncharenko.
