The Munich Security Conference (MSC) was held in Germany from February 14 to 16 (local time).
For decades, transatlantic relations have been a cornerstone of MSC discussions. However, with the second Trump administration now in power, this year's dialogue was overshadowed by growing uncertainty. U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance further deepened the divide by openly criticizing Europe's democratic backsliding, casting doubt on the future of the partnership.
What major security challenges does Europe face? How will Trump 2.0 impact the continent's security? How are European leaders and experts responding? And what lies ahead for transatlantic relations?
GDToday reporters spoke with Chinese, European, and American experts to explore these pressing questions and gain deeper insights.
Liu Xiaodi, Deng Yingheng, Gu Yuebing, and Mao Shujie reported from Munich, Germany.
