Wrote this for @NewStatesman in December. Trump will either divide Europeans and make deals over their heads, or have the effect of pushing them together. Which force prevails depends entirely on Europe's leaders making choices they should have made at least a decade ago.
Europe’s top officials and their U.S. counterparts stake their claims and push back on the fate of Ukraine and Europe’s security as they gather for #MSC2025
Honoured to meet Ambassador-designate Angus Campbell. Thank you @AutraliaEU for hosting @CrisisGroup. Really enjoyed brainstorming on a range of global issues with Brussels-based colleagues. Very rewarding conversations.
In introducing @EroComfort, @dankurtzphelan says that @CrisisGroup, “for every conflict or potential conflict on Earth...does some of the most incisive analysis and provides some of the smartest, most constructive recommendations on what should be done.”

Dilemmas Trump poses for Europe may be profound. He sets up acute challenges for its leaders. But D.C is certainly not omnipotent & Europe is hardly weak, comprising some of the world’s biggest economies + 2 nuclear powers!

Spot-on analysis by @ICGlatam on the adjustments to Petro's Total Peace plans and the greater opportunities (and risks) involved in smaller scale negotiations with fractions of armed groups, still preferable to pursuing national-level agreements. 🇨🇴 1/2 https://t.co/mlrrDh3HW9
Launching our #EUWatchList 2025 today.
This was a hard one to pull together with so many uncertainties, and a major disrupter in the White House.
All the more important to discuss what the EU can and should do in this volatile year.

You will be hearing this a lot from us @CrisisGroup :
There is growing policy dissonance between what the West wants from LatAm - to stop drugs - and what LatAm wants - to stop violence.
Often those policies are directly at odds w one another, I told @cnni@StePozzebon
Prospects of the Gaza deal holding will remain slim unless outside powers are willing to exert significant leverage on the warring parties to abide by the ceasefire parameters – a daunting task in and of itself, but one well worth taking on.
