As announcements from the White House capture global attention, many Australians are left asking what a second Trump presidency might mean for them.
Tariffs on Australian goods raise important questions about the future of trade and the resilience of Australia’s economy. Simultaneously, the retreat of the United States from multilateral engagement, including funding cuts to the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the dismantling of international famine monitoring and aid programs, raises concerns for humanitarian response, scientific collaboration, and health system preparedness across our country.
And as American institutions debate the role of diversity, inclusion, and gender equity, what ripple effects are already being felt in Australian workplaces, policymaking, and public debate?
In parallel, the weakening of longstanding legal protections such as the right to a trial before imprisonment or deportation, signals a broader dismantling of the international rules-based order. These changes carry profound implications for human rights, diplomacy, and global accountability.
Hear from our experts in international relations, economics, public health, and equity and diversity to explore how recent changes in US policy and leadership are reverberating in Australia - and what this might mean for our future.
