Cancelled: "Protectionism and the Future of Transatlantic Relations"

The administration of the USA is increasingly putting into question the USA's trade relations with its North American neighbors and with Europe, turning away from the principles of the World Trade Organization and the UN. Will this mark the end of the economic world order as we know it? How should Europe position itself in a multipolar world dominated by the USA, China, and Russia? How can Europe safeguard its economic interests in this complex global environment? And what are the resulting threats and opportunities? The event will be held in English.
