To mark the end of the first 100 days of the Trump administration, the Miller Center is co-sponsoring an event with the University of Oxford’s Rothermere American Institute. This half-day conference in the United Kingdom will focus on two key policy areas that were central to the campaign and agenda of President Trump and the Republican Congress: national security and the economy. By pairing scholars with practitioners, these panels will provide a retrospective of the first 100 days of the Trump administration, as well as offer insights for the remaining 265 days of the first year.
