The term ‘Special Relationship’ has been used to describe the long-standing historical, political, economic and cultural ties between the US and UK. As Chatham House celebrates its Centenary, we mark the significance of this relationship but also look to its future. Will the US and UK continue to anchor a broader transatlantic relationship and how meaningful will this be for the future world order? How will Brexit impact the US’ relationship with the UK if it is no longer viewed as a gateway into Europe? How is the UK preparing for a second Trump administration or a potential Biden administration?
Please note this event is taking place between 2pm-3pm BST.
Chatham House Centenary:
