President Trump and Asia: After the Inauguration

Just days after the inauguration of the 45th President, Asia Society convenes a special town hall meeting to examine the challenges and opportunities facing the new U.S. administration in Asia. The meeting follows the publication of several policy recommendations put forth by the Asia Society Policy Institute, as well as a curated selection of brief “Memos To The President” submitted by our global network. Asia Society President Josette Sheeran and Asia Society Policy Institute President Kevin Rudd will lead the discussions, joined by other leaders from the business and policy spheres. The aim will be to identify the key challenges and opportunities facing the region—from maritime disputes to a nuclear North Korea, economic concerns raised by a China “bubble” to the consequences of a U.S. rejection of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the ramifications of a potential U.S. withdrawal from the Iran deal and the Paris climate accord—and other critical issues.

What will a Trump Administration mean for Asia? Which of his campaign pledges and statements will become actual policy? What do the initial appointments and statements of the Trump Administration signify for the road forward? Join us for a very special event.
