Bridging Continents, Fortifying Alliances: A Private Sector View of NATO, EU, and U.S. Engagement
Share:
This report, authored by a BENS delegation that held high-level engagements with NATO, EU, and U.S. officials in Europe, offers a front-line view and a roadmap for U.S. policymakers to strengthen bilateral ties and defense-industrial cooperation in support of broader transatlantic and strategic goals.
Through candid insights and bold recommendations, delegates share how the U.S. private sector can help strengthen transatlantic defense, infrastructure, and energy resilience.
A few takeaways:
- NATO allies remain focused on countering Russian aggression and show strong interest in increasing defense spending.
- European perceptions of China’s influence vary by region.
- EU, NATO, and business leaders are unclear on U.S. positions on NATO support and trade policy.
- Greece emerges as a key U.S. partner due to its location and maritime strength, though economic and regional challenges remain.
