As a GMF/AGI Fellow, Sascha Lohmann explores the consequences of President Donald J. Trump’s proclaimed “America First” approach for transatlantic cooperation on ensuring the peacefulness of the Iranian nuclear program, coping with the Russian Federation’s ongoing interferences in Eastern Ukraine and beyond, as well as mitigating disagreement on both sides of the Atlantic about the appropriate means to effectively deal with these issues.
