The profound shift in US foreign policy just days after President Donald Trump took office will significantly alter transatlantic coordination on China.

Grzegorz Stec, Head of MERICS’ Brussels Office, asked leading experts: “What could effective transatlantic coordination on China look like under Trump’s presidency?” Grzegorz also offers his own take.
