Make Alliances Great Again: UK-US relations in an unstable world
Hosted by the Coalition for Global Prosperity 

President Trump’s return to power has introduced profound uncertainty for UK-US relations. The “special relationship” has been rooted in military cooperation, intelligence-sharing, and diplomatic alignment; the divergence between UK and US on global issues requires Britain to recalibrate its approach to transatlantic relations. This panel will examine how the UK can mitigate risks and maintain its strategic influence, amid Trump’s presidency.
