DESCRIPTION:The Moynihan International Affairs Seminar Series presents Rach
 el Rizzo. When Biden announced his commitment to permanently base US troop
 s in Poland at the NATO Summit in June 2022\, Europe let out a collective 
 sigh of relief. After years of Trump’s abuse\, and in the wake of Putin’s 
 assault on Ukraine\, America was indeed ‘back’—just like President Biden p
 romised. Europeans oughtn’t be so confident. The Biden Administration made
  these decisions amidst an intense four-month crisis\, with insufficient a
 ttention paid to trade-offs and political realities. While Ukraine has\, i
 ndeed\, pulled US attention back to Europe\, the strategic long-term focus
  is still on China and the Indo-Pacific region writ large. This means Euro
 pe has an opportunity at this very moment to get its act together\, become
  a geopolitically strategic player\, and assert its position as both a geo
 economic and security power. It won’t be easy\, but it is necessary\, espe
 cially given the unknown landscape of future US administrations. This talk
  will focus on ways Europe (and individual states within the EU) can “futu
 re-proof” its relationship with the United States to create a more equal U
 S-European partnership in the areas of security\, trade\, technology\, and
  more.Rachel Rizzo is a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’
 s Europe Center. Her research focuses on European security\, NATO\, and th
 e transatlantic relationship. From 2019-2020\, she spent a year as a Rober
 t Bosch fellow in Berlin\, Germany\, where she worked at the Berlin office
  of Human Rights Watch leading a research project on the EU’s dual-use sur
 veillance-technology export policy and serving as an advisor to a member o
 f the German Bundestag.
