Event information
The AEB is pleased to invite you to the International Briefing “After the Blue Wave: Congress, the White House, and the Future of Russia Policy”.
The event will take place online on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, from 16:00 to 18:00 via ZOOM.
The 2026 midterms have redrawn the American political map. Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress, giving the party greater leverage over President Donald Trump's agenda. Experts predict that Democratic majorities could bring tougher oversight and greater scrutiny of the administration's handling of the conflict in Iran. Trump would still retain significant authority over foreign policy, while Congress could use its powers over legislation, spending, and oversight to constrain the administration.
What does the new balance of power in Washington mean for U.S.–Russia relations? With President Trump entering his final stretch and an emboldened opposition, the ground may shift under the entire Russia policy agenda.
Join us for the International Briefing with:
• JP Natkin, Chief Business Officer, Macro-Advisory
• Georgy Bovt, Political Scientist, Journalist, and Radio Host
as they unpack the post-election landscape - from the MAGA movement's internal battles and the 2028 succession fight to what a new Congress means for sanctions, arms control, and the future of U.S. foreign policy.
The webinar will be moderator by Tadzio Schilling, CEO of the AEB.
All the registered participants of the webinar will receive a link to connect to the event.
The working languages of the event are Russian and English. Simultaneous translation will be provided.
