Lord Mandelson has been appointed as the new UK ambassador to Washington .

He says Europe needs to become a capable security partner and rebalance its trade with the US .

The president-elect’s Cabinet nominations reflect a mixture of traditional foreign policy internationalists and “ America First ” isolationists.

Europe will need to increase substantially its defence capabilities.

None of these steps will be easy for Europe either financially or politically.

But they are deeply in Europe ’s self-interest.

Pilgrimages to Mar-a-Lago for intimate dinners and rounds of golf may seem clever, but they are insufficient.

The time for dithering is over. It is time for Europe to deliver.
