Abrupt shifts in US foreign policy since President Donald Trump returned to the White House have rocked international institutions, impacted global markets and worried America’s allies.
The administration’s tariff policy and withdrawal from multilateral organisations has upended decades of America’s approach to global affairs. The dramatic downsizing of the US role in Europe’s security and defence infrastructure, and notably the changed position towards the war in Ukraine from the previous administration, has been stark and significant. Friendly nations have reeled at the tone and speed of the switch, as the President has made clear his intention to pursue the ‘America First’ agenda.
However, as America retreats from its traditionally held positions around the world, many in Congress are still keen for America to retain its position as a stable and dependable ally, with many advocating for renewed commitments and engagements with multilateral institutions and to work with partners on the biggest global challenges of the day.
Join us at Chatham House to hear Senator Gallego discuss his views on the importance of America returning to its role as a guarantor of security, working with allies and supporting multilateral efforts to address international flashpoints from Ukraine and Gaza to climate action and AI.
