The sharp turn in US foreign policy under the second Trump administration is pushing for a rethink of Beijing’s ties with both the EU and key European countries, UK included. At the same time, the EU continues to define China as a partner, economic competitor and a systemic rival. The panel discussion will explore the challenges and opportunities defining the relationship across various policy areas including trade and investment, security, technology, climate and global governance.

In the seventh annual Julian Priestley Lecture, Jonathan Freedland explores how the evolving political landscape under Donald Trump demands a fundamental rethink of the UK´s relationship with Europe. With characteristic insight and clarity, Freedland examines the implications of America´s shifting global role and argues that the UK can no longer rely on traditional transatlantic assumptions. This lecture forms part of a series established in memory of Julian Priestley, former Secretary General of the European Parliament (1997 - 2007), honouring his deep commitment to the European ideal.
