Last week’s re-election of Donald Trump as president of the United States was seismic and surprising. It may prove the most pivotal election in recent American history.

In this salon at the Frontline Club, New Lines editors are joined by a panel of experienced journalists for an in-depth conversation about what a second Trump presidency means for America and for the world.

We’ll discuss the political divide in the United States, especially the role of conspiracy theories in the election campaign. What the next four years might mean for women’s rights; the globalisation of America’s culture wars; and the rise of the far-right from America’s streets to Europe’s cities.

We’ll also discuss what might happen beyond America’s shores: for America’s foreign policy; the conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon and Ukraine; an evolving relationship with Afghanistan; and a changing relationship between the superpower and China and Russia.

Joining New Lines editors Faisal Al Yafai and Lydia Wilson will be Gabriel Gatehouse, Emma Graham-Harrison and Sasha Polakow-Suransky.
