Kathleen spoke to Members of Parliament from across the NATO alliance about defending democracy at the NATO Parliamentary Assembly meeting in Montreal, Canada in November 2024.

From women and “dudes” in defence and foreign affairs, to modern strategic challenges, and the future of NATO and EU-US relations, this is a strong and surprising discussion concerning rhetoric, reality and continuity in America’s foreign policy under President Trump II. 

This event, which brings together high-level US experts and key EU stakeholders, will examine the foreign policy dynamics affecting the future of the transatlantic partnership. It will also assess the need for decision-makers on both sides of the Atlantic to find common ground to counter Russian aggression in Ukraine, push back against China’s rising global influence, and address broader threats to democracy such as foreign information manipulation and interference by malicious actors.
