Trump: One Year On - The Impact of Trump: Politics, Economics and International Affairs
Channel: IIEA
Date: 2017-11-01

About the Speech:

The United States has been the most influential country in world affairs for over 70 years. The rise of a non-politician to that country’s presidency has generated considerable uncertainty. Having questioned long-standing tenets of US foreign policy while campaigning, Donald Trump’s election has caused allies and rivals alike to reconsider America’s posture on a range of issues. This event sought to look beyond the daily news coverage of the Trump administration to see what has really changed over the past year, and how the positions and policies of the US vis-à-vis the rest of the world are likely to evolve over the remaining years of the current administration.
