How American Public Opinion Will Shape the Next US Administration with Bruce Stokes
Fueled by a diverse range of concurrent issues – including COVID-19, civil unrest, and a recession – November's US presidential election is shaping up to be one of the most tightly contested in recent history, leading business leaders, policy experts, and political pundits alike to ask the same question:
How will American public opinion shape the next US administration?
In collaboration with our fellow Nordic AmChams, we are therefore excited to announce that Bruce Stokes, Non-Resident Transatlantic Fellow at the German Marshall Fund, will join AmCham members on October 5 (15:00-16:00) for an exclusive session to help answer this question, exploring critical concerns for transatlantic businesses, such as trade and immigration policy, along the way.
