Webinar US election

14/11/2024

About

The USA is a global superpower and a major trade partner for Latin America, Asia and Europe, while it also plays an important security role in Asia and Europe. Therefore, the outcome of the US election is pivotal for the world, and in particular for those regions, as future US policies will affect their outlook, notably with regard to the US-China competition, friendshoring and immigration.

In our webinar, several analysts and experts will discuss the geopolitical implications of the election.
