AIG Global Trade Series 2024 Podcast Episode 2

US and UK elections 2024

Announcement

This special episode, recorded live at Chatham House on the eve of their 2024 Global Trade Conference, considers the potential repercussions on trade of the upcoming US and UK elections.
In the UK, current polling suggests that the Labour Party of Sir Keir Starmer is heading for victory whenever the election is called. Across the Atlantic, Joe Biden and Donald Trump are set for the first rematch in an American presidential election for 70 years.
What do the various potential election outcomes mean for British and American trade policy? And what might they mean for global trade?
