As part of our overall elections outreach, the Embassy brought Nicholas Kralev to Portugal from November 2-10, to speak on the impact of the American elections, both presidential and congressional, on U.S. foreign policy.
“Nobody really knows, not even Trump himself, knows what will happen”, according to American foreign policy expert, Nicholas Kralev. Adding that, “life is very different in the White House. Trump will find that there are many restrictions on what a President can do.”
During his tour of Portugal, Kralev met with the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Diplomatic Institute, Ambassador Freitas Ferraz, and the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Portuguese parliament, Sergio Sousa Pinto. He spoke at an American Chamber of Commerce seminar and at the American Club. Kralev also lectured at the American Corners of the University of Lisbon, Aveiro and Porto.
