8:30 – 10:00 am
The UK’s EU referendum and the US presidential election were two of the biggest weathervanes of Western politics in 2016. Both registered clear signs of opposition to established elites and policies, signs also seen in other countries across the Western world. They hint at a Europe and USA headed towards more inward looking and isolationist outlooks. This panel will discuss what the future is for a common European foreign policy agenda in such a world. Can Europe and the USA find common cause in solving their international and domestic problems, or will they drive each other apart?
