DEBRIEFING THE US ELECTIONS AND THEIR IMPLICATIONS FOR EUROPE - On November 5, Americans voted for the next President of the United States at a critical moment in transatlantic relations. The change in leadership and return of Donald Trump to the White House in Washington carries significant implications in particular for Europe and the transatlantic relationship, not least in light of Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine, conflict in the Middle East, and China’s continued geopolitical and geoeconomic challenges to transatlantic partners.

With President-elect Trump coming into office on January 20, his administration must confront these urgent foreign policy priorities and more immediately. How should Europe prepare for the incoming administration? What will be the priorities of the incoming administration, particularly as it relates to Europe, the European Union, and the transatlantic relationship? What potential disputes and divergences as well as areas of opportunity between Europe and the United States can we expect?

This event is part of the Europe Center’s Transatlantic Horizons Series, which seeks to outline a productive relationship for the United States and Europe for 2025 and beyond.
