This briefing will explore what challenges might await the winner of 2024 US presidential election.
As the 2024 US Presidential election draws closer, the future direction of American foreign policy seems ever more uncertain. Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential candidate, appears to be embracing many of Biden’s policies, but she brings a different background, and most likely a different team, so change is likely. Donald Trump has more well-known views on foreign policy, but the context for a second Trump administration would be very different than the first.
The next U.S. President will be confronted a world in need of leadership with two major wars, a more assertive and capable China, a climate crisis, ungoverned technological change, emerging powers that demand a seat at the table, and debt distress across much of the developing world.
Please join us for this critical conversation covering:
- How will US-China strategic competition and the threat of conflict over Taiwan challenge US policy makers?
- What are the risks and challenges posed by Russia’s illegal full-scale invasion of Ukraine?
- How does war in the Middle East and the threat of regional escalation shape US foreign policy?
