However, while Europe\u2019s security relationship with the United States remains relatively strong, Europe\u2019s economic ties to China have surged. Will Europe keep growing closer to America's strategic rival? If so, what are the consequences for American security and prosperity? This week, Ian Bremmer, the political scientist and founder of the Eurasia Group Foundation, joins host Mark Hannah to discuss the battle for influence in Europe. Are America\u2019s current policies curbing&amp;nbsp; China\u2019s economic and technological influence effectively, or will America\u2019s \u201cnew Cold War\u201d approach backfire, strengthening China\u2019s ties to a part of the world in which America has long enjoyed a dominant influence?&amp;nbsp;  Ian Bremmer is a political scientist and is the founder and board president of the Eurasia Group Foundation.
