Why Brussels is keeping its nose out of Washington

With just seven days until the year's most crucial election taking place in the United States, EU political leaders are reluctant to give opinions on future legislation coming from Capital Hill.Given the backdrop of Russian interference, AI-driven disinformation campaigns, and two assassination attempts, the US election campaign may seem like a quagmire for Brussels — a situation best avoided. Is the EU’s strategy of maintaining a low profile a wise approach, and how might this reluctance influence the future of transatlantic relations? In this episode, host Giada Santana and politics reporter Magnus Lund Nielsen discuss the latest polls, the clashes between Harris and Trump, and Brussels' strategic positioning, featuring insights from Renew’s Vera Jourova.
