The transatlantic community faces a pivotal moment in early 2021. The United States is undergoing one of the most momentous—and tumultuous—transfers of power in modern history, the United Kingdom has left the European Union, and the coronavirus pandemic continues to ravage countries on both sides of the Atlantic. In this challenging geostrategic environment, what should be the top priorities for transatlantic security leaders? Where are the greatest challenges, and where are opportunities for new and innovative security policy and transatlantic cooperation?

Join The German Marshall Fund of the United States and Perry World House for a roundtable of high-level transatlantic leaders, including former High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton, President of the German Marshall Fund Karen Donfried, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel, former U.S. National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster, Estonian Ambassador-at-Large for Cyber Diplomacy Heli Tiirmaa Klaar, and former Deputy-Secretary General of NATO Alexander “Sandy” Vershbow.
