Donatienne Ruy

Max and Donatienne discuss the recent Czech elections and the long-awaited delivery of Western tanks to Ukraine.  They are then joined by Federico Steinberg, an economist and visiting fellow with the CSIS Europe, Russia, and Eurasia Program, from the Elcano Institute in Madrid to talk Europe’s economy and the transatlantic food fight over the Inflation Reduction Act’s climate change provisions. Finally, Max sat down for a conversation with Thierry Breton, EU Commissioner for the Single Market, to discuss the state of transatlantic security and technology cooperation. 

On the inaugural episode of The Eurofile, Max and Donatienne talk Qatargate and tanks, two issues causing heated debate in Europe right now. Later on, they sit down with Sophia Besch, Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, to discuss Zeitenwende and all things German foreign and defense policy.  

“The Eurofile” looks at Europe through a Washington lens. We will discuss, debate, and dissect the big issues consuming Europe with some of the leading voices from the transatlantic community. We’ll try to make sense of developments in Brussels, break down European elections, and discuss all the issues roiling transatlantic relations. So join us for “The Eurofile” every other Thursday, wherever you get your podcasts.
