Donald Trump and the Future of the US-UK Special Relationship

Date(s)
Thursday 27th March 2025 (12:00-13:00)
Description

The School of Politics and International Relations collaborates with the Centre for the Study of Subversion, Unconventional Interventions and Terrorism to host this timely discussion on the foreign policy course pursued by Donald Trump since the start of his second term of US President in January 2025. Euro-Atlantic relations have been thrown into turmoil. What does this mean for the US-UK special relationship, which has been at the heart of Anglo-American relations for many decades?

Join our current affairs panel to hear two experts working in the School of Politics & International Relations debate their ongoing work on the US-UK special relationship and discuss what the future might bring:

Professor Wyn Rees is an expert in International Security and in 2024 published The Anglo-American Military Relationship: Arms Across the Ocean (OUP).

Professor Andrew Mumford is the University of Nottingham's first Professor of War Studies. His primary research area is analysis of the historical and contemporary political management of warfare - especially the British and American experience. In 2018 he published Counterinsurgency Wars and the Anglo-American Alliance: The Special Relationship on the Rocks (Georgetown University Press).

 

All are welcome to join us in D02 Monica Partridge Building, University Park campus, from 12pm
