This event aims to discuss the options available to the Trump administration, and to evaluate the potential consequences of candidate Trump’s positions for the international order at large. It also aims to inform the perspectives of those (in Europe and beyond) that stand on the receiving end of the future foreign policy of the incoming Trump administration.

I am asked to moderate and speech for the event “Trump’s World – The Trump Administration and International Law” which is hosted by the T.M.C. Insitute in The Hague.
