The Atlantic Bridge, once a symbol of the close ties between Europe and the United States, has undergone significant changes in recent years. Under Donald Trump's presidency, the club, which brings together many influential figures from Germany and the USA, is searching for new meaning and direction. Many members feel unsettled by Trump's unpredictable foreign policy and his often critical remarks about Europe.
The connections that were once considered stable are now strained by uncertainties in the transatlantic relationship. The German America lobby, traditionally advocating for close cooperation with the United States, faces the challenge of maintaining its relevance in a changing geopolitical landscape. The question of how Germany's interests can be safeguarded in a world increasingly marked by nationalism and populism is at the heart of the debate. Members of the Atlantic Bridge are therefore discussing not only economic and political issues but also the fundamental values that should hold the transatlantic partnership together.
