In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, hosts Steve Kuper, Robert Dougherty and Liam Garman unpack the latest developments on the global stage.
The trio discuss a range of topics, including:
- The fallout following new US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s trip to Europe and the prospects of a US shift away from Europe to focus on the Indo-Pacific.
- Europe’s declining national resilience and its dependence on the United States.
- The likelihood of a US-led peace deal in Ukraine and revelations that both US and Russian presidents have committed to mutual visits and a de-escalation of the tensions between the two nations.
