As the world unravels around it, Europe is determined to engage beyond its borders
The trouble is that defining Europe’s responsibility is proving just as fraught for von der Leyen as it was for her predecessors.
Figures like Merkel or French President Emmanuel Macron — who recently embarked on a one-man mission to resolve the U.S.-Iran dispute — might be adept at playing the role of dutiful host, but where it really matters, they are irrelevant. The “deciders” are elsewhere. Instead, the Europeans have continued to engage in a series of circular discussions about whether and how to build a “European army” and variations on if the Western alliance will survive U.S. President Donald Trump.
China, meanwhile, has been quietly lurking in the background, methodically building its influence on the Continent, whether through critical infrastructure projects in southeastern Europe or corporate acquisitions in the West. So far, however, instead of instilling common purpose, Europe’s geopolitical exposure has only deepened its internal divides on issues large and small.
