The international landscape is undergoing a profound transition, marked by shifting geopolitical dynamics, intensifying power rivalries, regional instability, and evolving patterns of commercial, technological, and even military confrontation.
The instability in the Middle East, the recent direct clash between Iran and Israel, U.S. involvement, a return to power politics, the crisis surrounding trade tariffs, the prolonged war in Ukraine, and the emergence of new geopolitical scenarios — often linked to the initiatives of former U.S. President Donald Trump — are all contributing to the gradual weakening of the global order.
Within this changing environment, Europe and Italy face complex decisions: adjusting strategies, safeguarding interests, and identifying new opportunities in an increasingly unstable but highly dynamic system.
The meeting will offer a critical analysis of key geostrategic themes, covering issues from Iran and the broader Middle East to a review of the recent NATO summit. It will then delve into major macroeconomic trends, beginning with the state of the U.S. economy, followed by a discussion on the tariffs introduced by the Trump administration and their impact on the global economy.
The goal is to provide valuable insights to support more informed and forward-looking decision-making in a rapidly evolving international context.
Topics to be explored will include:

• Iran, Israel, and the war in the Middle East
• Europe and NATO
• Trump’s tariffs and their effects on the global economy
