Since his inauguration, President Trump has courted controversy in the media but what are the real economic, diplomatic and human consequences of his presidency on the US, the UK and the rest of the world? Our expert panel, ably lead by broadcaster and ROSL Member, Michael McKay explore this and more - with Q&A from the floor.
Confirmed panellists:
