Webinar | Global implications of the US presidential election

The outcome of the US presidential election on 5 November will be crucial in shaping geopolitics and strategic risks over the coming years.

Former president Donald Trump has said his foreign policy agenda would renew American strength and leadership, reject globalism and embrace patriotism. His plans have prompted concern among the US’ foreign allies. 

Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has said she would work to preserve and strengthen the US-led liberal international order. But her campaign has hinted at subtle policy differences with the Biden administration. This creates uncertainty about how she would pursue her stated objectives. 

In this briefing we will cover:

• The US’ overarching geopolitical objectives over the coming years
• Whether the new administration would significantly affect strategic competition among leading global powers, particularly between the US and China 
• The future of Western political and military alliances, particularly NATO  
• How a Trump or Harris presidency would impact interstate conflict risks globally

The briefing will include an opportunity for you to pose questions to our panel.

This will take place on Thursday, 17 October at 1600hrs London / 1700hrs Paris / 1100hrs Washington DC / 0800hrs Los Angeles.
