As in the previous years, it gathered leaders from government, business, journalism, and academia for discussions of pressing global issues.</br></br>One of the key panels of the first day was with [[Polish Prime Minister]] [[Mateusz Morawiecki]], who addressed policymakers from across Europe and the United States. Despite recent controversies between [[Brussels]] and the [[EU]], the prime minister struck a conciliatory tone.</br></br>“We try to find a common language with our Western European partners, because I truly believe in Europe,” Prime Minister Morawiecki told the BBC’s [[Katya Adler]] in a conversation that addressed the controversies between Poland and Brussels.</br></br>The conversation came at a time when the trust in the transatlantic relationship has increasingly come into question, with the Trump administration’s recent announcement of tariffs on steel and aluminum calling trading relationships within the United States and Europe.</br></br>“We believe in trade with the United States. We believe in reciprocity and this is why I say, in case needed, we will protect our interests, but this is not our attitude. Our attitude is to invest in free and fair trade and we see this as beneficial for the European economy and for the US economy,” said [[Federica Mogherini]], High Representative of the European Union for Foreign and Security Policy and Vice President of the European Commission.</br></br></br></br>The theme of GMF’s 2018 Brussels Forum, Revise, Reboot, Rebuild: Strategies for a Time of Distrust, reflects a time where common ground often feels increasingly difficult to find. The conference, which started on International Women’s Day, featured four all woman panels and 38 percent female participation.</br></br>“GMF has always been committed to issues of diversity and gender balance,” said [[Karen Donfried]], GMF President. “Women have been making big impact on policy for a long time. If you look at just our agenda today, we have Federica Mogherini, [[Rose Gottemoeller]], [[Manisha Singh]], [[Ana Gomes]], [[Susan Ness]], [[Michèle Flournoy]], just to name some of those headliners.

On European defence, she stressed the need for complementarity between [[NATO]] and EU efforts.</br></br>Conversations throughout the day emphasized that despite tensions, there is a need to build trust.</br></br>Trade was at the top of the agenda on the second day of GMF’s Brussels Forum. Against the backdrop of a rapidly developing story of potential U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum, the day’s first conversation featured [[Cecilia Malmström]], [[European Commissioner for Trade]], and [[Robert Zoellick]], chairman of West Alliance and former [[World Bank president]].</br></br>Despite concerns that potential tariffs on steel and aluminum could drive a wedge between Europe and the United States, Malmström highlighted common ground on the issue of overproduction in the steel sector. Tying trade to the conference theme of trust, Malmström said:</br></br> “We want to increase the possibilities for us to trade, for our people to meet to harness and shape globalization. To make sure that we get proper jobs, that we get fair trade, sustainable trade, and also because of the title of this meeting is today, how can we regain trust?”</br></br>Former Secretary of State [[Madeleine Albright]] also spoke on an entirely different force shaping the world: the refugee crisis. Secretary Albright pointed out the connections between the refugee crisis and other global challenges, saying “Most people don’t want to leave the home where they were born, where they speak the language and have their family. The people who are leaving [[Africa]] are being pushed out because of desertification,” said Albright. “We need to recognize [[the earth is not flat]] and there is a scientific basis to [[climate change]]. I think we need to have short-, medium-, and long-term action plans, because this is the [[new normal]].”</br></br>The day’s most spirited conversation came in the form of an Oxford Style debate on the motion “Humanitarian Intervention Does More Harm than Good.”</br></br>Arguing for the motion were [[Frank Ledwidge]], senior fellow at the Royal Air Force College and Dr. [[Rajan Menon]], senior research scholar at [[Columbia University]]. Arguing against the motion were Dr. [[Kori Schake]], deputy director general of the [[International Institute for Strategic Studies]] and [[Bernard Kouchner]], co-founder of [[Doctors Without Borders]] and former [[French foreign minister]]. The debate, hosted in partnership with Intelligence Squared U.S., explored many facets of humanitarian and military intervention. While both sides won audience members to their position, as recorded through the conference voting app BFconnect, the team arguing against the motion won a greater proportion of the audience to their side and prevailed.</br></br>Other notable speakers on Friday included members of the [[U.S. Congress]] and the European Parliament, CEO of The World Bank [[Kristalina Georgieva]], and [[U.S. Ambassador to NATO]] [[Kay Bailey Hutchison]]. [[Laura Rosenberger]] and [[Jamie Fly]], of GMF’s Alliance for Securing Democracy (ASD), presented Hamilton 68’s methodology, the dashboard that tracks Russian disinformation. The conference will conclude Saturday with sessions featuring [[Georgian President]] [[Giorgi Margvelashvili]], a discussion on resolving the [[North Korea]]n threat, and a conversation with U.S. Senator [[Chris Murphy]].</br></br></br>Senator Chris Murphy and [[Norbert Röttgen]], head of the German Bundestag’s Foreign Affairs Committee, kicked off the final day of GMF’s Brussels Forum. In a conversation that touched on hot button issues from gun control in the United States to the threat posed by North Korea to rapid social change on both sides of the Atlantic, both Murphy and Röttgen expressed commitment to partnership between the United States and Europe. “We have to broaden the conversation. We have to build a kind of political approach among parliamentarians and businesspeople for this rational, liberal approach to foreign policy,” said Röttgen.</br></br>Murphy expressed a hope that that collaboration between Europe and the United States will continue, even on difficult issues such as trade and climate change.</br></br>“I think we can do some work, behind the scenes, in an inter-parliamentary manner,” said Murphy. “There are solutions that can still be there.”” “There are solutions that can still be there.””)
