The referendum on Brexit and the new foreign policy priorities of American President Donald Trump hold the potential for significantly altering EU-US relations over the next few years.
The Jean Monnet European Union Centers of Excellence at the University of Pittsburgh and Florida International University have joined together with the European Union Studies association to assemble a panel of experts to explore the state of transatlantic relations after the first one hundred days of the Trump Presidency. What are the prospects for a multi-lateral trade agreement? Have new security concerns changed traditional defense priorities? How does the current stage of the Transatlantic relationship compare to other episodes in its history? What can American businesses and professionals expect moving forward?
Confirmed panelists:
Dr. Alasdair Young, Professor of International Affairs, Co-Director for the Center for European and Transatlantic Studies, The Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, Georgia Tech
Dr. Kathleen McInnis, International Security Analyst, Congressional Research Service
Dr. Michael Smith, Chair in International Relations, University of Aberdeen
Moderator:
Dr. Markus Thiel, Associate Professor and Director of the Jean Monnet EU Center of Excellence, Florida International University
