Could Europe go it alone?

The World at One Highlights

Available for over a year

How should Europe respond to the increasingly bellicose lines being taken by President Trump? The UK and other European nations have relied on the US for decades but more and more we hear the line that Europe needs to be able to stand on its own two feet. How easy would that be? In defence? In energy? In technology? The World At One's Sarah Montague and PM's Evan Davis discuss Europe’s prospects.
