Oliver Farry is pleased to welcome Alexandre Vautravers, Associate Fellow in Leadership in Conflict Management at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP). According to Vautravers, amid Trump's fiery rhetoric, the real challenges lie in the technical, logistical, and strategic underpinnings of the alliance and interoperability across US and European forces. He says Europe is entering a phase of cautious autonomisation in response to an unpredictable US ally that has increasingly adopted highly confrontational policies towards allies and adversaries across the globe.
