How will the new president approach industrial strategy, regulation, trade, migration and fiscal policy?

A fortnight on from the US presidential and congressional elections, this expert panel, organised by Chatham House’s Global Economy and Finance Programme in collaboration with the Society of Professional Economists, considers the outlook for US economic policy and implications for the global economy.

Questions for discussion include:

  • What will the economic priorities of the new president be? 
  • What will be the role of industrial strategy/green transition, regulation, trade, migration and fiscal policy?
  • How far will the president be constrained by other branches of the US government, including Congress, the courts and state governments?
  • What will the implications be for the global economy broadly and through the specific channels of trade, investment, monetary policy and debt?
  • How will the new president handle economic and financial relations with the US’s traditional G7 allies, China and the Global South?
