Minutes. Good morning. Im the director for the center of United States in europe. At the bookings institution. I am delighted today to be chairing this important discussion on election 2020 and its implications for u. S. Foreign policy. Obviously over the weekend there have been some rapid developments. There is now a president elect joe biden, after a pretty tumultuous few days, i think, for everyone, an election that was pretty close for many days but now we have a clear winner. So we have a terrific panel this morning to discuss not so much the election but looking forward to next year to see what the implications are for u. S. Foreign policy, for international order, and to talk to parse maybe some of the nuances of last week and what they may mean, particularly that trumpism is alive and well even though the president did not receive a second term and that the senate could still be in the hands of the republicans.
