Read the Report — In “Transatlantic Security Cooperation in the Middle East: Recommendations for the New Administration” by the Center for a New American Security, Ben Fishman, the former Director for North Africa and Jordan on the National Security Council, and Erik Brattberg, a Senior Fellow at the McCain Institute for International Leadership, argue that the new administration will need to identify a set of common objectives with an increasingly fragmented Europe. They further state that the administration will need to work in tandem where those objectives align and divide responsibilities based on resource constraints and comparative advantages. Finally, they make a series of recommendations for how the administration can achieve those objectives.
