After the Ballots: U.S. Leadership and Foreign Policy in a New Era?

MONDAY, 11 NOVEMBER 2024, 4:00 CET

In the immediate aftermath of the U.S. presidential elections, this online roundtable brings together experts from both sides of the Atlantic to assess the election results and explore what they reveal about the trajectory of US politics and foreign policy. With insights from within the U.S. and perspectives from around the world, the panel will dissect the unique dynamics of this election. Key topics will include the deepening polarization, the status of populism, challenges to bipartisanship, and the evolving relationship between the Presidency and Congress. On the international front, participants will discuss the foreign policy priorities of the new administration, including critical areas like Ukraine, the Middle East, China, and multilateralism. In addition, the panel will explore how the world perceives these election results and what global expectations are for America’s next chapter.
