US(A): Our Special Relationship

Venue: Castle Marquee

A year is a long time in US politics, and 2024 is a extraordinary demonstration of this adage; the year has been full of unexpected events and historic firsts, including the conviction of Donald Trump for the falsification of business records and Joe Biden stepping down as the Democratic Party’s presidential nominee after a disastrous debate performance.

As we enter 2025, the UK will have to forge a new kind of special relationship with the Oval Office. What will this look like with a vastly changed USA? How will international events, from wars to movements in trade and the shift to the political right, affect the way the UK and US stand together (or not)? And what does the shifting axis of world power and influence mean for us all? Join Matt Frei, lead presenter of Channel 4 News’ award-winning global coverage and a panel of experts and front row commentators to explore just what the UK’s place in the new world order could look like.
