TRUMP IS BACK — AND EUROPE ISN’T READY.

Donald J. Trump’s second presidency is no longer a hypothetical — it’s happening. From the Oval Office, Trump is once again reshaping the global order with unapologetic speed. Yet across the Atlantic, Europe remains paralyzed — comfortable in its delusions, fragmented in its resolve, and dangerously slow to respond.

Is Europe asleep at the wheel — or simply unwilling to face the truth?

From slashing support for Ukraine to questioning the very value of NATO, Trump is not just upending policy. He’s challenging the foundational myths of the post-Cold War West. This isn’t politics as usual — this is power politics, 21st-century style. And it demands a response.

“Trump may be one of those figures in history who appears from time to time to mark the end of an era…” — Henry Kissinger

Is Trump heralding a new world order — or the collapse of the old one?

This event confronts the hard questions Europe refuses to ask:

  • What is Trump’s vision for the world — if there is one?
  • Can Europe defend itself without the U.S. — militarily, morally, economically?
  • Are European populists allies or adversaries in this emerging reality?
  • And above all: What comes next for the West?

Featured Speaker:

James Orr – Associate Professor, University of Cambridge; Chair, Edmund Burke Foundation UK. Described by Politico as “JD Vance’s philosopher king”, Orr brings intellectual firepower and unapologetic insight to one of the most urgent debates of our time.

Europe has a choice: confront the storm — or be swept away by it.
