The return of great-power rivalry, the rise of nationalism, and deepening democratic strain are reshaping global politics at a pace not seen in decades. Few forces are influencing this moment more than the shifting role of the United States—and the impact of Donald Trump returning to the White House.
This second Trump presidency, and the continued pull of Trumpism, is reverberating far beyond America’s borders, carrying significant implications for alliances, democratic institutions, and strategic posture. As today’s political currents threaten to reshape the global order, how can Canada and fellow democracies prepare for what comes next?
On December 11, join Canada 2020 for Trump and the Revenge of Geopolitics, a timely conversation with Edward Luce, U.S. National Editor and Columnist at The Financial Times. Drawing on his frontline reporting and deep geopolitical analysis, Luce connects U.S. domestic upheaval to broader international shifts. His talk will offer a clear-eyed assessment of the risks ahead and the choices facing Canada and other Western democracies. This event is free to attend thanks to the ongoing support of our sustaining partners.
