G1 Global 2025 - Trump 2.0: Decoding US Politics for Japan

This panel will delve into the turbulent landscape of US domestic politics. The discussion focuses on key internal pressures, including intensifying political polarization, the rise of economic nationalism, and the contentious debate over federal spending and immigration. Panelists will examine how these domestic factors are now the primary drivers of US foreign policy decisions, often leading to a more transactional approach to international alliances and a shifting global role. The session then analyzes how these profound shifts in America's priorities compel Japan to reassess and adjust its economic and security strategies, navigating an essential and evolving alliance in an era of heightened unpredictability.   G1 Global Conference 2025 Politics Session held at Graduate School of Management, GLOBIS University in Tokyo, October 13, 2025.  » https://g1summit.com/g1global/    [Politics] Trump 2.0: Decoding US Politics for Japan   Panelists:  » Glen S.
