The United States after Bush’s Reelection: European Views

Due to technical difficulties, there is no transcript for this event.

Because it affects European perceptions of the United States, President Bush’s reelection raises fundamental questions about U.S. relations with its European allies. How will the president’s second term affect prospects for transatlantic cooperation on critical issues like terrorism, the Middle East, and the environment? Are Europeans prepared to reengage with America after several years of acute tensions, or will support increase for developing the European Union as a counterweight to American power? What’s next for European integration, and how will the proposed EU constitution affect NATO and the United States?

Brookings will convene several of Europe’s top experts on transatlantic relations and foreign affairs to address these and other questions at the next Daimler-Chrysler Forum on Transatlantic Relations and Global Issues.
