The US presidential elections on 4 November this year are of particular importance for transatlantic relations, as war has been raging in Europe for over two years. Without the USA, the Europeans will hardly be able to adequately support Ukraine in its defence campaign against Russia. The current blockade of new aid deliveries to Ukraine by Republican members of the US Congress is a foretaste of what could happen if Donald Trump were to enter the White House again, possibly with a majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives.

On 5 March, "Super Tuesday" takes place in the American primary election cycle, when primaries and caucuses are held simultaneously in a large number of US states and a third of the delegates to the nominating convention are chosen.

The results on „Super Tuesday“ are therefore a strong indicator of the likely eventual presidential nominee of each political party.

Hardly anyone doubts Trump's victory, as he has already clearly won the three previous votes.

In view of the low approval rating for President Biden, who does not have to face any serious intra-party rivals, the chances of D. Trump to succeed his successor despite his legal problems are high.

What would this mean for Europe? How can, how should Europe prepare for this? Dr F.J. Meiers will talk about these and other questions. His lecture will be commented on by Dr M. Lojko, followed by a panel discussion between the two and with the guests.
