About this Event

Event Details

While the popular national vote in the U.S. Presidential election seems to have not been too far out of line with the expectations before the event, the Electoral College translated Donald Trump’s successes into a substantial lead, securing him another four years in the White House. In addition, Trump’s Republicans have claimed the U.S. Senate, which will help to promote Trump’s Make American Great Again agenda and upending domestic and foreign policy. Please join this special panel organised by the Stevenson Trust as we unpack the elections’ outcome and – importantly – assess the implications for the U.S. and its place in the world.

This event is taking place in-person the at the University of Glasgow or you can sign up to view the talk online.
