"Challenges to trans-Atlantic relations didn't begin (or end) with the Trump presidency. This book applies historical and contemporary perspectives in addressing an urgent question: how resilient are those relations? Policymakers and researchers striving to understand what the future could bring will find this book helpfully thought-provoking."Roy Norton, Balsillie School of International Affairs, Waterloo, Canada.
