Seventy-five years ago, Winston Churchill came to the Midwest to decry the Soviet Union’s "iron curtain" and celebrate the "special relationship" between the United States and United Kingdom. As President Biden’s administration outlines its foreign policy priorities, both countries are discussing ways to further collaborate on combatting climate change, battling the COVID-19 pandemic, and bolstering their already robust trade ties. What will UK-US ties look like under the Biden administration? And, as tensions and a pandemic again divide the world, what lessons can we draw from Churchill's speech? Please join British Ambassador to the US Dame Karen Pierce; Chicago Council President Ambassador Ivo Daalder; British Consul General in Chicago Alan Gogbashian; Author and Historian Catherine Grace Katz; Economist correspondent Adam Roberts; and International Churchill Society Chairman Laurence Geller CBE. This event is free and open to the public, please register at this link.
