Gert-Jan Segers – Great Decisions Series 2025 Across the Atlantic: NATO from a European Perspective

 

We welcome Gert-Jan Segers, former Dutch Member of Parliament (2012-2023), former leader of the Christian Union Party and two-time member of a coalition government of the Netherlands.

With the re-election of President Trump, the future of NATO and our relations with European allies will continue to evolve. From a European perspective, NATO plays a critical role in ensuring regional security, political stability, and cooperation. While NATO is widely supported across Europe, there are some criticisms and concerns, including debates on NATO’s openness to future expansion—particularly Ukraine and Georgia and the potential for Russian antagonism. Join us for a conversation with Dutch politician Gert-Jan Segers as he discusses NATO, transatlantic relations and the future security of Europe.
