The fraying security alliance between the United States and Europe presents urgent questions about the future of NATO, and whether the 76-year-old institution can endure as the Trump administration’s posture toward the world evolves. The answers will have massive implications for the ongoing war in Ukraine and future of European armament, as well as the United States’ transatlantic defense priorities.


At the conclusion of the Munich Leaders Meeting in Washington, POLITICO will convene an exclusive group of senior participants to discuss the most pressing security challenges today —

and the steps that need to be taken tomorrow.



Doors open at 3:00 p.m. ET.


Programming will be followed by a reception starting at 5:00 p.m. ET with drinks and passed hors d'oeuvres.


A government-issued ID will be required for entry.


Please note, all bags will be subject to X-ray security screenings and guests will have to go through metal detectors upon entry.
