TRUMP ADMINISTRATION 2.0: IMPLICATIONS FOR GCC ECONOMIES - The Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Middle East Initiative would like to invite you for a timely public online conversation on “Trump administration 2.0: Implications for GCC economies.” The panel discussion aims to explore the future of trade and investment between the United States and Gulf Cooperation Council, assessing potential policy shifts, economic ties, energy dynamics, and financial flows. Additionally, the conversation will address the impact of US energy policies and their implications for global markets, US policies on artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, Gulf-China relations, “new” trade routes, and GCC sovereign wealth fund strategies.

How will the current administration policies shape diplomatic and economic relations in the region? What opportunities and challenges lie ahead for GCC countries in this new phase of US engagement?
