The United States has elected a new President. Over 500 politicians, journalists and business people attended AmCham and the U.S. Embassy’s election watch on Wednesday morning at Hilton Stockholm Slussen.
The AmCham partner of the event, Hill & Knowlton, follow up with a report from their office in Washington, D.C and their Public Affairs team. They has analyzed information from President-elect Obama’s campaign and statements made by congressional leadership to prepare this post-election preview of some of the expected priorities of the incoming Administration and the 111th Congress.
