A conversation with:

Permanent Secretary
Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom

Moderated by:

Franklin C. Miller
Principal
The Scowcroft Group
Board Director
Atlantic Council

Milestone elections on both sides of the Atlantic, coupled with a rapidly evolving security environment, have raised new questions about the future of the transatlantic partnership. Emerging challenges across Europe have further highlighted the importance of the Special Relationship, the UK’s role in NATO post-Brexit vote, and the need for enhanced defense cooperation.

Permanent Secretary Lovegrove will join us to discuss the key themes shaping the UK’s defense strategy for the coming year, its vision for the future of transatlantic security, and priorities for the US-UK relationship moving forward.
