Trump’s second term has been impacting international relations between the US and the rest of the world at a whirlwind pace. The US-led international order established after WWII is shifting, bringing uncertainty on security, defence and free trade to NATO, Japan and the rest of the world.

In this webinar, Japan’s former Deputy Minister for Foreign Affairs Hitoshi Tanaka will discuss the new Trump Administration and its effects on the global order. How is the post-WWII international system changing, what are the potential impacts on Japan, and what can Japan do to mitigate them?
