Relations between the United States and Europe are undergoing significant shifts. Growing uncertainty among European allies has led to debate about the future of US extended nuclear deterrence. Are US nuclear guarantees credible? Or does Europe need to consider alternative options, such as a British-French nuclear umbrella?
Pranay Vaddi, senior fellow at the Center for Nuclear Security Policy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will offer opening remarks. From May 2022 to January 2025, Vaddi served as special assistant to President Joe Biden and senior director for arms control, disarmament, and nonproliferation at the National Security Council.
The discussion will continue with a panel where Kristin Ven Bruusgaard, Director of the Norwegian Intelligence School, and James Cameron, Associate Professor at Oslo University, will offer their perspectives.
Professor Henrik Stålhane Hiim (IFS) will chair the seminar. The seminar is part of IFS’ new Strategic Studies Research Programme.
