Brexit: The American Dimension
Channel: The Federal Trust
Date: 2024-03-08

John Stevens and Brendan Donnelly discuss the crucial American component of the Brexit debate. Many of those arguing for Brexit in 2016 did so because they favoured a closer alignment between the UK and the US. John Stevens and Brendan Donnelly ask how politically and practically feasible such closer alignment might be, particularly under a Trump Presidency.

SPEAKERS
John Stevens is the Chair of the Federal Trust and an analyst and commentator on economic affairs.
Brendan Donnelly is the Director of the Federal Trust and a former Conservative MEP.
