Now that America has stepped back, Europe is at last stepping up. We examine the bloc’s tactics (if not yet a strategy) and how steady its support is likely to be.

Guests and host: Tom Nuttall, chief Germany correspondent Joshua Roberts, capital markets correspondent Jon Fasman, senior culture correspondent Jason Palmer, co-host of “The Intelligence” Topics covered:  Europe, security, Ukraine war IPOs, investment, stockmarkets, SpaceX, Anthropic, OpenAI World Cup, Iran Visit education.economist.com and use code 5YEARS to save 15% on courses developed by our editors and correspondents.
