2016 was, in a word, “unexpected”. The UK stunned the world when it voted to leave the European Union, and the US followed by electing Donald Trump to the presidency. What is the root cause of these unprecedented changes? Is this the beginning of a new political order? And what does this mean for the “special relationship” between the US and the UK?

Smith Soc and Famed British Historian, Commentator and Lecturer, Andrew Roberts will take an in-depth look at the Brexit vote and US/UK relations at our London Professional Chapter launch on November 17^th.
