After the first primaries, America’s future is still written in the stars. Whereas Donald Trump has won the elections on the Republican side in the first states, it seems that Hillary Clinton will become the candidate for the Democratic Party.
Together with our American guests, we would like to discuss current trends of the election campaigns and learn more about the positions of both parties. Especially, we would like to discuss the question what impact America’s decision will have on the future of the European continent.
Guests:
Mary Bono, former Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Republican Party
Carol Mosely Braun, former US-Senator, Democratic Party
Georg Mascolo, Director of the Joint Investigative Group from NDR, WDR and Süddeutsche Zeitung will moderate the talk
The audience is not only invited to take part in the debate, it will also be able to vote before, during and after the event. If you are interested in participating, please contact info.ahg@db.com for further information.
In his last State of the Union Address in early January, US President Barack Obama told his fellow Americans to take heart: “The United States of America,” he said, “is the most powerful nation on Earth. Period.” Globally, however, scepticism is growing about whether the United States will be able to come to grips with its problems. The current American society is deeply divided, and Europe is watching the US election campaign with concern.
Partners
The event will be organized together with BMW Foundation Herbert Quandt and in cooperation with the U.S. Association of Former Members of Congress (USAFMC).
