He is an Editor at Large at the Washington, D.C.-based European Institute and a Board Member at European Affairs. He has written widely on transatlantic relations, both in the field of history and contemporary affairs.
Prof. Martin said: “The transatlantic partnership is in the midst of a serious crisis, following the major disputes in recent months over climate, the Iran nuclear deal, and tariffs. Will Donald Trump and his European counterparts continue on their collision course? Or will they try to stop that downward trend? The NATO summit, could be a make or break for relations between Europe and the United States."
