    The future of EU-US cooperation / Successful heart transplant on eight-month-old

    主持人:Tony Sabine and Car Ha

    On Wednesday's Backchat, we’re looking into the future of relations between the European Union and the United States.

    US Vice President JD Vance came under fire by critics for downplaying Russia’s “threat” to European stability, blaming instead what he describes as “threats from within.”
    In a fiery speech at the Munich Security Conference last weekend, the number two in charge accused his European allies – including the UK – of “backsliding” free speech and democracy. He also went on to criticise domestic policies ranging from immigration to abortion, with little mention of regional security.
    Shortly after, Donald Trump's Ukraine envoy Keith Kellogg said that the EU would not take part in ongoing talks to end the war in Ukraine, prompting European leaders – including UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer – to join a crisis summit.
    Has JD Vance’s speech marked a turning point in EU-US relations? Is this the beginning of a new era for transatlantic cooperation? We’ll ask the experts.
    After 9:50, we learn more about the complexity of organ transplant procedures on babies, after an eight-month-old successfully received her new heart.


    9:05am-9:50: The future of EU-US cooperation

    9:05am-9:45am: Sandra Marco Colino, Associate Professor at the Faculty of Law, The Chinese University of Hong Kong
