Atlantic Council senior fellow Sarwar Kashmeri sat down with Ewen MacAskill, the Guardian’s Washington bureau chief, for the latest installment of the New Atlanticist Podcast Series. Following President Obama’s recent decision not to attend the U.S.-EU summit this May in Spain, he asks, "Why isn’t the President going to Madrid?"
MacAskill discusses Obama’s announcement, the reactions of European leaders and the implications for U.S.-European relations and the Afghanistan mission.
