President Trump – Where Next for the UK and the World?

President Trump’s victory in the US election will have seismic implications well beyond America’s borders. From the risk of escalation of a trade war between the US and China, to a reduction in support for Ukraine and deprioritisation of climate action, the election result stands to redefine some of the world’s most pressing global issues.

Join BFPG Director Evie Aspinall and BFPG Associate Fellow Michael Martins to explore what it means for the UK, how it may impact global power dynamics and how the UK should respond to the result.
