No progress in NATO-Russia relations without US leadership

In part two of this special section from 2017, on President Trump’s impact on NATO, Tony van der Togt looks at the US-Russia relationship and its consequences for NATO, the lack of US leadership in dealing with Russia and possible European alternatives to US leadership. While Europe might not be able to bring the same form of hard power leadership to the table as the US, Van der Togt does argue in favor of opening dialogue between the EU and Russia, independent of the US.
