Bruce Thompson discussed the upcoming U.S. presidential election, and the impact various issues are having on what's shaping up to be a close race during a panel discussion hosted by the Australian law firm Lander & Rogers.

Bruce was joined on the panel by Andrew Tulloch, general manager of the American Chamber of Commerce in Australia and Emma Shortis, a senior researcher at the Australia Institute's International and Security Affairs program.

They discussed the role issues such as tariffs, trade agreements, tax reform, climate policy, border security, and national defense were having on the U.S. presidential race. They also explored U.S. voter demographics, voter mobilization, the potential impact of candidate fundraising in the final two weeks, and early voting trends from states such as Georgia and North Carolina.
