Shaheen Chairs U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee Hearing Examining Future of Europe

"Over the past four years, Europe has experienced significant political, security and economic shifts. Putin thought his efforts to drive divisions within Europe and build its reliance on Russian oil and gas would thwart a united, coordinated response to its illegal invasion in Ukraine. Instead, it upended European policy toward Russia and its attitudes toward the rest of the world. And today, the transatlantic alliance is stronger than ever," said Shaheen. "This hearing was an opportunity to understand how we can further consolidate our unity to address future challenges and ensure that Americans and Europeans continue to see the benefit of our unity by strengthening both our trade ties and our democracies."
