Hello from Paris,

Earlier this week, Michael and I hosted a private roundtable discussion with paid subscribers, where we assessed the latest developments, and our forecasts, for the Ukraine and Iran wars, Cuba, and Xi Jinping’s hosting of Presidents Trump and Putin in Beijing.

The discussion covered what we are watching, what we think matters most, and how we see these issues developing over the coming weeks and months - and where our views differ from market sentiment.

You may find the recording and transcript below.

If you are not yet a paid subscriber, you can upgrade your subscription to access the full conversation, along with all the other benefits of Geopolitical Dispatch, including:

  • Full access to every Daily Dispatch, covering the five most consequential developments in geopolitics and their business implications

  • Full access to Michael’s Saturday essay, Week Signals, which goes beyond the headlines to identify the major trend of the week, as well as five matters to watch in the week ahead

  • Invitations to our monthly Private Roundtables, plus transcripts and recordings

If full access to Geopolitical Dispatch would be useful for your broader team, you can also take up a GD Corporate Membership, which gives ten individuals access to all of the above, plus our Quarterly Outlook Briefings.

As with individual subscriptions, you can upgrade through the link below.

And if you think your organisation might benefit from broader access, bespoke analysis, a private briefing, or advice on how to map, measure and manage geopolitical risk, feel free to reach out to me directly.

Best wishes,
Damien
