About this listen

This source discusses the potential for a strengthening of ties between the European Union and Australia. Europe is looking to broaden its alliances due to concerns about an increasingly aggressive Russia and the potential for an unpredictable US foreign policy under a future Trump administration. While the proposal is still in its early stages, some analysts caution that closer defence pacts might not be in Australia's best interest, arguing that focusing on relationships within the Asia Pacific region is more critical. However, others contend that closer collaboration could offer benefits in diversifying defence capabilities and supply chains, and that the world is interconnected enough that strengthening ties with Europe makes sense for Australia.
