What do the November 5th election results mean for US-Russia relations? Join us for an insightful panel discussion with foreign policy experts and academics as they explore the potential impact of a second Trump presidency on US foreign policy toward Russia. Key questions include: How could these results shape US support for the war in Ukraine? Might Donald Trump transform US sanctions policies? What implications could there be for NATO? This timely event will provide essential insights into what lies ahead for the US and Russia on the global stage.
