Tough Love: The Heritage Foundation’s Nile Gardiner on Trump and NATO

Update: The event has been sold out. However, the conversation will be recorded and published as an episode of the Atlantische Blik podcast. 

 

Just weeks into his second presidency, Donald Trump is already shaking up global politics—challenging NATO allies, threatening China, Canada, and Mexico with high tariffs, and even eyeing Greenland. His “peace through strength” approach reinforces the need for Europe to take greater responsibility for its own security.

 

What does Trump’s foreign policy mean for Europe? How will his unconventional approach shape transatlantic relations?

 

Join the Netherlands Atlantic Association as Nile Gardiner, Director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at The Heritage Foundation, shares his insights. A key advocate of Project 2025—seen as a blueprint for Trump’s second term—Gardiner will dissect the administration’s vision and its impact on Europe, just months before the NATO Summit in The Hague.

 

Moderated by Casper Thomas (De Groene Amsterdammer, Het Financieele Dagblad).
