The Geostrategy Nest of the College of Europe in Natolin organised a Lecture titled "Continuity, Ambiguity, or Insanity?: Strategic Challenges Facing the Next US Administration" with Ms Theresa FALLON.
The lecture focused on US elections and the challenging geopolitical landscape determined by the new President. Ms FALLON presented her views about how the new President might be tested by other world leaders in the early days of their administration, how Kamala Harris's foreign policy should look like, what are possible scenarios for the transatlantic relationship and other questions raised during the lecture by the students.
