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!

The tariffs have driven up prices in the United States.

Thank you for having me and I have to say it is a daunting list of challenges that's facing the United States both on the domestic side and on the foreign policy side.

And as you said, having spent my entire career focusing on transatlantic relations, I'm not only saddened by what's happening to the United States in terms of its own democracy, but I'm also very sad about the impact that it's having on the transatlantic relationship.

It's very humbling and I think there's a lot that the United States should be learning.

I used to work for the National Democratic Institute where we operated in different countries around the world and we told them how to use their best democratic practices and we now need to take those lessons home to ourself and I think we should be inviting Poles and others to the United States to advise us on this.

All of you are welcome to come to the United States and I know those conversations are already happening actually with democracy activists in the United States and elsewhere.

And I don't think the United States fighting a war in Iran constitutes a reason for not having elections.

But we know that closing the capability gap that we have with the United States will take at least a decade.

Is it still credible or does it depend on a personal relationship between, a bilateral relationship between Poland and the United States?

Yes, and I think that the administration has drawn a false equivalence between Europe expecting the United States to help on Ukraine and Europe not wanting to help the United States on Iran.
