Join Radek Sikorski, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland, and Hoover Senior Fellow H.R. McMaster, as they discuss the future of NATO deterrence, the US-Poland strategic partnership’s role in securing Europe, and what a successful outcome in Ukraine would mean for European security and the defense of democratic nations.
The conversation examines Poland’s remarkable transformation since the end of the Cold War, the challenges posed by Russian hybrid warfare and Chinese economic practices, and the importance of energy security, resilient supply chains, and technological innovation. Sikorski and McMaster also discuss developments in the Middle East, transatlantic trade and cooperation, and the leadership required to strengthen democratic societies and navigate an increasingly competitive international environment.
