On Monday 25 November, I had the pleasure of holding a videoconference with Romain Lefebvre, a former officer and expert on the defence sector, and a number of other French people, to discuss European defence cooperation in Scandinavia and the Baltic region in the light of Russia's war of aggression and the election of Donald Trump.
