America’s New Foreign Policy
This lecture will focus on America’s foreign policy under President Donald J. Trump. During President Trump’s campaign, he offered plenty of political theater when it came to foreign policy, but few specifics except in his praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Other than his international\ business dealings, Trump entered the Oval Office with no experience in foreign relations and a disparate vision for America’s engagement with the world that marks a major shift from what we’ve seen since the end of World War II.
America’s democratic, economic and security alliances are on new footing in the Trump era. This lecture will discuss these alliances, as well as the significance of American commitments to liberty, democracy and free trade under President Trump.
