Is Europe ready to stand alone? Alberto Alemanno on America and Europe’s red lines

Is the United States still Europe’s ally—or has the transatlantic relationship fundamentally broken down? In this episode of The Europeans, leading EU law scholar and political analyst Alberto Alemanno joins Katy Lee and Katz to discuss why Europe may now be facing threats not only from the East, but also from the West. From the US operation in Venezuela and threats toward Greenland to NATO, defence coordination and Europe’s inability to act collectively, this conversation tackles the EU’s most existential questions heading into 2026. Why does Europe diagnose its weaknesses so well, yet fail to act on them? What would it actually take for the EU to project power and defend itself? And could this moment of crisis finally force Europe to become a true geopolitical actor? #EuropeVsAmerica #EUDefense #TransatlanticRelations #GreenlandCrisis #NATO #EuropeanUnion2026 #AlbertoAlemanno #USEuropeRelations #EuropeanSecurity #GeopoliticsExplained #EuropeanPolitics #WorldPolitics #InternationalRelations #CurrentAffairs #PoliticsPodcast #indepth #politicalanalysis #europeexpert 01:31 Why Europe failed to respond to US threats of taking Greenland 03:22 Ukraine, Trump and Europe’s dangerous calculus 05:36 Has the transatlantic breakup already happened? 08:16 What a US move on Greenland would mean for NATO? 10:16 Can Europe actually defend itself? 12:16 Why Europe diagnoses problems but fails to act 14:25 Power, deterrence and why Trump doesn’t respect Europe 15:51 Ukraine, peace talks and Europe footing the bill 18:11 The far right and Europe’s political future 21:01 Why Europe is suddenly treated as one global actor 23:12 What should be on Ursula von der Leyen’s 2026 to-do list? 25:54 Europe’s moment of reckoning To listen to the full podcast visit our YouTube channel or https://europeanspodcast.com or explore more segments on our YouTube channel.
