The Aspen Institute Germany is happy to organize a panel discussion, in cooperation with FGS Global and the Representation of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia to the Federal Government, called: “President Trump’s Second Term: Changing Tides in the Atlantic?” on April 10, 2025.
As the Trump administration reaches the three-month mark, both the United States and its transatlantic partners are navigating an evolving political landscape. Decades-old partnerships are being called into question and core principles no longer apply. From domestic policy shifts in Washington to evolving foreign policy strategies, the Trump presidency has set the stage for a potentially new era in U.S.-Europe relations even before it has reached its one-hundred-day mark. What key developments have shaped the administration’s agenda so far? How are they being received at home and abroad? What do they signal for the future of transatlantic cooperation? Join us for an in-depth discussion on Trump’s early second presidency, the trajectory of U.S. domestic and foreign policy – and its ripple effects across the Atlantic.
We aim to address these questions during the event. The panelists will be Nathanael Liminski, Minister for Federal, European and International Affairs and Media of North Rhine-Westphalia, Dr. Jana Puglierin, Head of Office and Senior Policy Fellow at the European Council of Foreign Relations, Richard Walters, Partner FGS Global, former Executive Director of the 2025 Trump-Vance Inaugural Committee, and Christoph Heusgen, Senior Advisor FGS Global, former Chairman of the Munich Security Conference. The conversation will be moderated by Aspen Germany Director Dr. Stormy-Annika Mildner.
Our audience will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in the discussion. After the event, there will be a reception. The panel discussion is invitation-only and will take place at the Representation of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia to the Federal Government. The event is fully booked.
