Europe should not assume November’s US midterms will remove transatlantic tensions, EUISS analyst Giuseppe Spatafora argues.

He proposes combining continued security cooperation with credible economic responses to future coercion.

These are analytical recommendations, not EU decisions.

🇺🇸 A Democratic win in the US midterms could constrain the Trump administration. But it is unlikely to end transatlantic tensions.

With 2 more years of recurrent confrontation likely, Europe needs a more flexible playbook, argues @gspataf95.bsky.social in his latest Brief. shorturl.at/1otY8
Quote from EUISS Brief written by Giuseppe Spatafora, 'More arrows to Europe's quiver: How to manage transatlantic relations beyond the midterms' | "Europe’s playbook should combine strategies for facilitating cooperation with Washington with more effective measures to counter coercion."

🇨🇦 Could Canada become the EU's first "associate member"? Cooperation is growing, but several obstacles stand in the way.

@gspataf95.bsky.social maps the possible models for closer integration, what each would entail and whether both sides would want to pursue them. www.iss.europa.eu/publications...
