He remains hopeful about transatlantic relations despite past tensions, emphasizing the necessity for European defense and collaboration with allies, including NATO nuclear considerations.
Wadephul stated that the Ukraine war is 'about all of us' and emphasized the importance of preventing a 'classic war of conquest' in Europe.
