In a recent interview returning from a state visit to China, French President Emmanuel Macron argued that Europe should reduce its dependency on the United States and avoid getting dragged into Washington’s confrontation with Beijing over Taiwan. Macron’s remarks elicited mixed reactions from EU member states and institutions. They have also raised questions about the state of EU-U.S. relations: although the two are aligned on support for Ukraine, their different approaches to China and the continuation of Russia’s war might put the transatlantic relationship to the test. To discuss relations between Brussels, Washington, and Beijing, Carnegie Europe invites you to an online event featuring Noah Barkin, Sophia Besch, and Pierre Vimont. Judy Dempsey will moderate. To submit a question for the event, please use the YouTube chat or tweet us at @Carnegie_Europe. Carnegie Europe is grateful to the U.S. Mission to the EU for their support of this event.
