Joe Biden is set to become the 46th US president. How will he deal with coronavirus and the economy? What are his priorities internationally and will he restore the US’s role in alliances? And what about the trade deal the UK wants so much, and relations with Boris Johnson, dubbed “Britain Trump” by the current occupant of the White House?

On our panel to discuss these issues were:

  • Dan Balz, Chief Correspondent for the Washington Post
  • Elizabeth Dibble, Chief Operating Officer at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and former Deputy Chief of Mission at the US embassy in London
  • Emily Tamkin, US Editor for the New Statesman
  • Sir Paul Tucker, Fellow at the Harvard Kennedy School and former Deputy Governor of the Bank of England

The event was chaired by Sir Richard Lambert, Board member of the Institute for Government and former Editor of the Financial Times.
