For this episode, regular host Maria Prass passed her duties temporarily on to REMIT Research's Principal Investigator, Prof. Robera Haar (Maastricht University) who met online with our Stakeholder Advisory Board member John Shimkus. John is a former US Congressman for Illinois for over 20 years, known for his work on energy, environmental, and national security issues, a self-proclaimed trans-atlantist, and retired Lieutenant Colonel of the US Army. Both being US nationals with interest and experience with different aspects of the US political system, the conversation centred mainly around current US policies, and what those (may) mean for the rest of the world.
