President Biden came into office vowing to restore America’s longstanding alliances
across the Atlantic. However, while Europe’s security relationship with the United
States remains relatively strong, Europe’s economic ties to China have surged. Will
Europe keep growing closer to America’s strategic rival? If so, what are the consequences
for American security and prosperity? [This week](https://www.noneoftheabovepodcast.org/episodes/s3e1),
Ian Bremmer, the political scientist and founder of the Institute for Global Affairs,
joins host [Mark Hannah](https://twitter.com/ProfessorHannah) to discuss the battle
for influence in Europe. Are America’s current policies curbing China’s economic
and technological influence effectively, or will America’s “new Cold War” approach
backfire, strengthening China’s ties to a part of the world in which America has
long enjoyed a dominant influence?
