Atlantic Council - Conference on the future of the US-Turkey relationship under the new era - on March 21, 2025 in Washington DC

 

 
Join the Atlantic Council on March 21, from 9:30 
a.m.-12:30 p.m. ET, in Washington DC, for a half-day in-person conference on the  future of the US-Turkey relationship under the new era.


In just a short time, the Trump administration has moved rapidly to change US policy across a wide spectrum of issues, presenting significant implications for the international system. Trump’s second term coincides with generational uncertainty and volatility marked by the conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, rising great-power competition and tensions with China, and globalization challenges. Against this global backdrop, this new administration promises to leave its mark with new approaches to transatlantic security cooperation, a vastly different vision for the future of the energy mix, and an aim to rethink and reinvent trade relationships.

Reflection is needed for what this sea change in US policy means for partners such as NATO-ally Turkey, which finds itself at the forefront of many issues posing both challenges and opportunities for the United States.

Through a half-day in-person conference in Washington, DC, we will explore the future of the US-Turkey bilateral relationship, regional issues, and the implications of changing policy dynamics under the three pillars of defense and security, energy, and trade and business.

This is an in-person event, however virtual option will also be available for participants who cannot be in Washington DC. If you have any questions, you can reach out to Alp Ozen at aozen@atlanticcouncil.org.
 
 
 
 
 
Program agenda and conversations will include:
  • Defense & security cooperation in an evolving geopolitical landscape
  • Regional energy security in the spotlight
  • Transatlantic trade relations with a focus on Turkey
