Washington’s New Pivot: US Election Results and Implications for the Indo-Pacific

The return of Donald Trump to become the 47th President of the United States will have repercussions far beyond the US borders. A new leader in the White House could reshape Washington’s Indo-Pacific strategy, and redefine the security, economic, and political landscape across the region. Join us to discuss how shifts in US priorities and a reshaping of US foreign policy interests more broadly could impact bilateral as well as multilateral relations in the Indo-Pacific perspectives from Japan, South Korea, India, and the Philippines.
