ROUNDTABLE

Since his return to the White House, President Trump has implemented a wide range of reforms and made significant statements regarding global geopolitical issues. While these developments have been widely analyzed in relation to American leadership, the global economy, international relations, migration, world politics, etc., this roundtable aims to specifically explore the implications of Trump’s second presidential term for Christians in Asia.

​

While many Christians in Asia and around the world believe that the new American administration will help to promote Christian values and doctrines, others hold the opposite view, fearing that Christians in Asia may bear the brunt of these policy shifts. In light of the ongoing reforms within USAID and the White House Faith Office, as well as the ‘Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias’ Executive Order and various statements regarding the potential deportation of Gaza populations, how will Christians in Asia benefit from or be affected by the reforms and statements of President Trump? 

​

Drawing on their academic expertise, professional experience, and ecclesial connections, our speakers engaged in a discussion about the potential impacts of President Trump's policies on Christians in Asia.
