This panel will explore the complex and evolving relationship between the United States and Europe in a world increasingly defined by transactional politics. Experts will explore whether the traditional transatlantic alliance, forged in the aftermath of World War II, can adapt to contemporary challenges.

Key questions to be addressed include:

• How have shifting global power dynamics and differing national interests impacted the transatlantic partnership?
• To what extent are economic competition and strategic divergence creating new rivalries between the US and Europe?
• Can shared values and common security threats provide a foundation for renewed cooperation, or are transactional approaches here to stay?
• What are the specific points of friction (e.g., trade, technology, defense spending) and how can they be managed?
• What is the role of Poland and what are the potential future scenarios for the transatlantic relationship, and what steps can be taken to strengthen it?
