The guessing game for the possible outcomes of the United States elections is over. For past months US allies have been patiently waiting for US elections results, hoping for restoration of world order. New foreign policy measures are not uncommon when an administration takes office; will this mean ally cooperation against China? Further de-coupling?

Our guests in this Webinar are ideally positioned to share their expertise on what is next for the geopolitical atmosphere, specially so from the Europe-US and India-US perspective.

The European Union Chamber of Commerce in China is pleased to welcome Madeleine Albright, Chair of Albright Stonebridge Group; 64th Secretary of State of the United States, for a webinar moderated by Nirupama Rao, India's 28th Foreign Secretary 2009-2011; Indian Ambassador to China 2006-2009.

A Biden win would likely mean an increase in democratic left-wing influence in US politics, possibly a revival of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), and an EU-US coordinated approach towards China, amongst numerous other possibilities. A Trump win would likely mean the status quo, aside from uncertainty and hundreds of tweets, further decoupling and deterioration of EU-US alliance.

What can we expect from the President of the United States in the years to come?
