The establishment of a more cohesive European foreign, security and defence policy raises a number of concerns common to both the EU and the US: How can both the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) increase but not duplicate capabilities? How can defence capabilities in Europe be improved? Where can the US and EU find complementarities?

The United States’ Ambassador to the EU, Kristen Silverberg, in conversation with Paul Adamson, offers her perspective on the challenges faced by the EU and the US in the area of security and defence.
