Tim Groser says prepare for the unexpected with a probable Trump 2.0 US election outcome. Tim was NZ ambassador to US during Trump 1.0 & former Trade Minister. -Protectionism, which is value NZ does not share with the United States, is bipartisan in US. However, NZ does have powerful friends who share our free trade bona fides though (EU, FTAs,TPP, agreements) .. may insulate us. But could be sectors caught in tariff crossfire ex: steel, alum in past. -The lame duck period between election and inauguration could be especially uncertain with geopolitical fires burning: Ukraine/NATO may see biggest deltas in short term - Do not underestimate Trump - Americans not happy with direction, mood is for change, hard for Harris to shake incumbent laurels - six swing states hold key to election (third of electoral college vote), Trump in past under estimated in polling (at present neck and neck within margin of error) Come to Diplosphere event tomorrow (Thurs 31) to hear Tim express further with other distinguished guests. https://lnkd.in/gxr6WWxz Maty Nikkhou-O'Brien John Robson Samar Alrayyes Heath Milligan Chris Borton (MInstD) Judith Dixon Keith Archibald Hunter Nottage Hugh Gollan luc bouillier Gil Meron (Meirovich)

😎 At Diplosphere (where else?) – #AI and the US Election "AI is not just being used to influence the Harris/Trump election through traditional misinformation. It is re-paving the culture, drowning out human voices." Excited to welcome Prof. Joshua Fairfield, William Donald Bain Family Professor of Law and Director of AI Legal Innovation Strategy at Washington and Lee University. What do the contrasting AI regulations of #Trump and #Harris mean for New Zealand’s businesses and government navigating AI-driven competition and political pressure? 📖 Latest book: Runaway Technology: Can Law Keep Up?, Cambridge University Press 📅 Thursday 31 Oct, Wellington 🎟️ Get your spot:  https://lnkd.in/gk5gyKuS Hon Judith Collins KC MP Dan O'Brien Sam Prescott #USElection #AIRegulation #NZ

✨ At Diplosphere we sat down with Helen Clark, former Prime Minister of #NewZealand & former UNDP Administrator and asked her what makes Helen tick. 👇 #nzpol #NationalTaonga #BetterWorld Dan O'Brien Mahi a Rongo | The Helen Clark Foundation

⚡️What makes her tick — the Helen Clark interview with Diplosphere Dan O'Brien and I discussed with Helen Clark the current situation in the #MiddleEast, #Ukraine, #AUKUS, and her best foreign policy decision as Prime Minister, following her recent address on behalf of the Nelson Mandela-founded The Elders Foundation at the United Nations Security council during the #UNGA79.

Immense respect for initiatives taken by organisations to spark curiosity in international affairs and bring diverse perspectives to the debating arena. Great catching up with Maty Nikkhou-O'Brien, Founder & Executive Director Diplosphere. Thank you!🙏🏻
