From the rise of populism and racism, to religious extremism and an increase in antisemitism, societies on both sides of the Atlantic are experiencing deep fractions and divides. How can Europe, and France in particular, work together with the U.S. to overcome these challenges? What lies ahead for both populations?
AmCham France, the AJC and Institut Montaigne have joined together for a special event to discuss these themes and more. Our special guest is David Harris, CEO of AJC who is exceptionally visiting France (click here for his full biography).
This event will be held under Chatham House Rule.
