The French Institute of International Relations (Ifri), ranked among the world’s most influential think tanks, serves as a leading forum for fostering free, responsible, and forward-thinking ideas. Its mission is to inform key decision-makers across the public and private sectors, as well as academics and civil society leaders.

Laurence Nardon, a renowned expert in U.S. political history, trade policy, and technological innovation, leads Ifri’s Americas Program. She is also the host of the New Deal podcast, produced in collaboration with Slate.fr and TTSO, where she delivers sharp, timely analysis on U.S. political developments. In August 2024, Laurence published Géopolitique de la puissance américaine with PUF (Presses Universitaires de France), one of France’s most prestigious academic publishers.

Over breakfast, Laurence will share her expert insights into the upcoming U.S. elections, covering crucial topics such as foreign policy and U.S.-China relations. Her deep knowledge and research promise to provide a unique and nuanced perspective on the evolving dynamics of American politics.
