GW Institute for Korean Studies to Host Forum on Northeast Asian Geopolitics Post-U.S. Midterms
The GW Institute for Korean Studies (GWIKS) is organizing a Korea Policy Forum to analyze the recalibration of Northeast Asian geopolitics following the 2026 U.S. midterm elections. This event will bring together experts from the United States and South Korea to discuss the implications of the midterms on U.S. policy towards the region. The forum will address how the political landscape in Washington, shaped by the remainder of President Trump’s second term, will influence Northeast Asia. Key topics for discussion include regional security, the U.S.–ROK alliance, U.S.–China relations, and emerging challenges in trade, technology, and economic security. The event aims to provide a timely and forward-looking discussion on these critical issues, offering perspectives from both Washington and Seoul.
