Podcast appearances and mentions of Anthony L Gardner

Europe Editor Tony Connelly, London Correspondent Sean Whelan & Deputy Foreign Editor on the week when the Northern Ireland Protocol gatecrashed the G7 & the US delivered a démarche to the UK. Guest: Anthony L. Gardner, former US Ambassador to the EU.

If the US is – in the words of former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright – the "indispensible nation" then the economic, democratic and institutional alliance between the US and the EU is the “essential partnership”. So argues Tony Gardner, Barack Obama’s ambassador to the EU and advisor to Joe Biden’s campaign for president in his new book Stars with Stripes: The Essential Partnership between the European Union and the United States (Palgrave Macmillan, 2020), The EU-US partnership has its frustrations and failings, he writes, but has quietly delivered on trade liberalization, data management, defense and law enforcement, leverage against Russia and Iran, and energy security. If Biden wins in November, these joint projects will be expanded and the fight against climate change brought to the forefront but “time will be short and pressure will be really high” to prove that working with allies achieves more than unilateralism. Tony Gardner was US ambassador to the EU from 2014-2017 and a member of Bill Clinton’s National Security Council in 1994-1995. He is now a managing partner at Brookfield Asset Management, a board member of Iberdrola, and senior counsel in the law firm Sidley Austin where he works on trade, data privacy and cybersecurity.

Three years of Donald Trump presidency have not been easy on Europe nor on Transatlantic relations, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic having exacerbated the EU-US partnership. Trump's bad instincts, which we saw in the first term, would be multiplied several times in the second term. We speak with Anthony L. Gardner, a former US Ambassador to the EU under President Barack Obama who has recently published a book entitled Stars with Stripes: The Essential Partnership between the European Union and the United States. This podcast features also Marcin Zaborowski, senior associate at the Visegrad Insight and editor in chief of Res Publica Nowa, who comments on the book. Material for this podcast has been recorded before summer as part of an exclusive Visegrad Insight Breakfast meeting for senior diplomats, experts and journalists from Europe and the USA. All the Bad Instincts - Interview with Anthony L. Gardner, a former U.S. Ambassador to the European Union by Julia Jabłońska https://visegradinsight.eu/all-the-bad-instincts-trump-transatlantic-relations/ Stars with Stripes book https://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783030348205 More on Visegrad Insight Breakfasts https://visegradinsight.eu/visegrad-breakfasts/ Tags: USA, EU, Trump, Central Europe

A conversation with Anthony L. Gardner, the former US ambassador to the EU under President Obama. Gardner is a former director on the National Security Council who has spent much of his career in Europe. He left his ambassadorial post in Brussels when Donald Trump entered the White House, and he was succeeded by Gordon Sondland, a hotel magnate with scant government experience. Sondland has more or less hewed to a Trumpian script, occasionally pouring scorn on Brussels officials and raising questions about the relevance of the European project. Now Sondland has been swept up in the investigation that could result in Trump’s impeachment. Congressional panels are pouring over details about Sondland's possible role in pressuring Ukraine's leadership to investigate Joe Biden, Trump’s likeliest rival in next year’s US election, and Biden's son. It’s against this background that Gardner talks with EU Scream about what’s ailing American diplomacy in Europe, his forthcoming book on the importance of EU-US relations, and where the continent may be heading under its new leadership.A lexicon for this episode:A “stagiaire” is a trainee; "DG Comp” is the EU's antitrust department; the “Sablon” is an upscale part of Brussels teeming with antique and chocolate shops; “TTIP" is an acronym for Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, a failed US-EU effort to strike a trade deal; Wilbur Ross is U.S. commerce secretary; Herman Van Rompuy represented EU heads of state and government as the first president of the European Council; “ECSC” is the European Coal and Steel Community, the group of six countries that started an integration process eventually leading to creation of the EU; SWIFT is the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, a network through which interbank transfers are traditionally made; “PESCO” is Permanent Structured Cooperation, an EU policy goal for developing joint military capabilities.
