Both sides of the Atlantic | WEC 2026
We invite to listen to the discussions recorded during the Warsaw European Conversation, an annual conference by Polityka Insight and the European Council on Foreign Relations. In five episodes we discuss Europe’s readiness for war, digital sovereignty, the competitiveness of the EU economies, European elections and energy policy.
In today’s episode, we discuss the future of transatlantic relations and the evolution of security policy on both sides of the Atlantic. We examine France’s strategic stance and the implications of potential leadership change. We also look at the dynamics of U.S. domestic politics – the role of political parties and civil society in curbing Donald Trump’s power, and the significance of the midterm elections. We consider what these processes mean for Europe, especially in the context of Article 5. Joining Marta Prochwicz-Jazowska, Deputy Head of the ECFR Warsaw office, in the discussion will be Thomas Gomart, director of the French Institute of International Relations, and Amanda Sloat, professor at the School of Politics, Economics, and Global Affairs at IE University. Enjoy the episode!

Why aren't Republicans saying no to Donald Trump and why aren't Democrats more prominent?
In terms of what's happening domestically, you have Republicans within Congress that really seem to have gotten co-opted by Trump's control of the MAGA party.
And I think you are seeing a number of Republicans privately expressing concern about what is Trump doing, privately expressing concern to the White House.
The Republicans in Congress are holding some oversight hearings and frankly we are seeing pretty disgraceful behavior by cabinet officials appearing before Congress.
Historically, the party in opposition tends to win back Congress in the midterms, at least one House, and the Republicans have a very, very narrow majority in the House right now, which makes it much easier for the Democrats to flip that.
