This episode interrogates a central question: can the United States realistically continue acting as Europe’s primary security pacifier, or are growing domestic pressures and political uncertainties forcing a rethink of its long-standing role? The discussion explores how shifts in the U.S. political priorities, questions about sustained defence commitments, and ongoing debates over European burden-sharing are reshaping expectations on both sides of the Atlantic. The conversation features Jason C. Moyer - Nonresident Fellow, Atlantic Council of the United States. Moderator: Mārtiņš Vargulis - Director, PowerHouse Latvia; Lecturer, Riga Stradiņš University.
