American Foreign Policy in Europe and Role of NATO

American Foreign Policy in Europe and Role of NATO

New York Centre For Foreign Policy Affairs has conducted a successful event titled “American Foreign Policy in Europe and Role of NATO.” The symposium was held in Paris and Washington on 28 Oct 2024 from 10 to 12 pm. The panel featured a prominent lineup of speakers, including political expert Paolo Schiano, lawyer Romina Curi, and NATO expert Samuele Giusti. 

The speakers critically assessed and examined US-European relations, exploring their implications for the future and, importantly, the role of NATO. The event attracted significant public interest and appreciation. The attendees applauded the valuable insights shared by the guest speakers.

The United States has close relations with the European nations as a member of NATO along with the European Union. The United States has close ties with most countries in Europe. No coalition of countries has, for the past 75 years, been as umbilically connected to the United States as Europe. First, its western half and, since the end of the Cold War, much of its eastern half have grown under the world’s most expansive bonds in trade, finance, and investment. 

Much of US foreign policy has involved containing the Soviet Union in the 20th century and Russia in the 21st century. Europe depends on the U.S. military’s iron commitment consecrated in the 75-year-old NATO alliance to come to its protection. Together with a few other countries, the United States and Europe represented many of the institutions that comprise what the World call the Western-led order. The U.S.-European alliance has arguably been the foundation of the global system as the world knows it today.

Over the past decade, US foreign policy in Europe and NATO’s role have become increasingly important, particularly since Russia’s annexation of Ukraine in 2014. NATO serves as a vital protector for Europe against Russian aggression, acting as a guarantor of security in the region.

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the United States significantly strengthened its foreign policy in Europe, with a primary focus on bolstering NATO. NATO, in turn, recreated a crucial role in providing military and humanitarian aid to Ukraine. NATO imposed sanctions on Russia and reinforced its eastern flank to deter further Russian aggression.
