WARSAW WEEK 2024: A TRANSATLANTIC AGENDA FOR AN ERA OF CONFLICT AND CONFRONTATION - Europe’s relationship with defense has fundamentally shifted from a more cautious approach to one focused on developing greater capacity to both support Ukraine and prepare for potential conflict on the continent. Even as countries buff up their defense spending to unprecedented rates, Europe’s defense industrial base is still significantly underdeveloped. With the United States torn between Europe and a pivot to the east, strengthening Europe’s production capacity is a critical goal. In an era of growing geopolitical turbulence, how can Poland and Central Europe step up to boost European readiness while continuing to prioritize arming Ukraine and maintain regional capabilities?
This event was held in Poland as part of the Atlantic Council's Warsaw Week.
