German Zeitenwende in European and Transatlantic Context

In June 2023, Germany adopted its first-ever National Security Strategy, in 2024 Germany is about to spend 2% of its GDP on defence for the first time. Still, more has to come. How can we assess the implementation of the Zeitenwende? What is its European dimension, including relations with the major European powers? And, with the US presidential elections approaching, what is the Transatlantic dimension of the Zeitenwede?
