Against the backdrop of increasing uncertainties in the transatlantic relationship, triggered by an ongoing series of decisions and statements by the Trump administration, this discussion comes at a particularly timely moment. We are honored to be joined by Phil Murphy, former Governor of the State of New Jersey, and former U.S. Ambassador to Germany for an exclusive background discussion. He will reflect on current developments in the United States and its foreign policy, and discuss potential future scenarios. The discussion will be moderated by our board member Dr. Emily Haber, former German Ambassador to the United States. We are also delighted to welcome First Lady Tammy Snyder Murphy to the exchange. Following the discussion, we invite you to continue the conversation during a networking reception.
