En ny præsident i USA: Hvad betyder valgresultatet for Europa?

**English below**

13. november – en uge efter det amerikanske præsidentvalg – inviterer Tænketanken EUROPA, IDA, Den amerikanske ambassade i Danmark og Kongressen.com til en konference om, hvad valgresultatet vil betyde for USA, Europa og det transatlantiske forhold.

Siden Joe Bidens tiltrædelse i januar 2021 er det globale sikkerhedslandskab blevet mere komplekst. Med Ruslands invasion af Ukraine samt krig og tiltagende uro i Mellemøsten er den liberale verdensorden, der blev etableret efter 2. verdenskrig med USA i førersædet, i opbrud.

På denne baggrund har de to præsidentkandidater udtrykt divergerende syn på NATO-alliancen – den primære garant for Europas sikkerhed – herunder særligt USA’s forpligtelse til artikel 5. Præsidentvalget kaster således nyt lys over USA’s rolle i verden, samarbejdet på tværs af Atlanten samt Vestens støtte til Ukraine.

Derfor inviterer Tænketanken EUROPA, Ingeniørforeningen (IDA), Den amerikanske ambassade i Danmark og Kongressen.com til en konference tirsdag den 13. november om det amerikanske præsidentvalg og dets implikationer for USA, EU og NATO. Sammen med førende danske og internationale eksperter dykker vi ned i valgresultatets betydning for handel, demokrati og sikkerhed på begge sider af Atlanten.

On November 13, 2024—a week after the U.S. presidential election—Think Tank EUROPA and Kongressen.com invite you to a conference about what the election result will mean for the U.S., Europe, and transatlantic relations.

The election result will not only shape the future of the U.S. but will also have significant consequences for Europe and transatlantic cooperation.

Since Joe Biden took office in January 2021, the global security landscape has become more complex. With Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as well as ongoing wars and increasing unrest in the Middle East, the liberal world order, which was established after World War II with the U.S. at the helm, is in turmoil.

Against this backdrop, the two presidential candidates have expressed divergent views on the NATO alliance—the primary guarantor of Europe's security—particularly regarding the U.S.'s commitment to Article 5. Thus, the presidential election sheds new light on the U.S.’s role in the world, transatlantic cooperation, and the West's support for Ukraine.

Therefore, Think Tank EUROPA and Kongressen.com invite you to a conference on Tuesday, November 13, about the U.S. presidential election and its implications for the U.S., the EU, and NATO. Together with leading Danish and international experts, we will dive into the election's significance for trade, democracy, and security on both sides of the Atlantic.
