LIVE: Toward the US Elections – The Nordic and a New Era of Transatlantic Relations

In this episode, we discuss the role of foreign policy, especially transatlantic relations, in the US election campaign, while also looking beyond the election to the years and decades ahead. Did Finland and Sweden’s NATO membership bring about a new era of transatlantic relations in the Nordic foreign policy? Are the Nordic countries seen as a single bloc from the United States' perspective? And what can we expect from transatlantic relations under the next administration and beyond? Panelists of the discussion are Laura Saarikoski (Tampere University), Joel Linnainmäki (FIIA) and Alexandra Pasternak-Jackson (Amcham). Moderated by Ulla Henttonen and Anton Engelberg, this episode was recorded at an event organised by The Ulkopolitist and the Finnish-Swedish cultural center Hanaholmen on 4 November 2024. The event was part of The Transatlantist, a project by The Ulkopolitist with the support of the U.S. Embassy in Finland.
