    Dialogue Abstract:

    Whenever a new US President comes into office, the new administration’s foreign policy exhibits a combination of continuity and change.  Donald Trump has deviated from past practice far more than any other president since 1945. This comes at a time when crises are on the agenda around the world – from the possibility of armed conflict with North Korea and active conflicts in the Middle East to Russian aggression and the global dangers posed by climate change.

    In this RSIS Dialogue, three members of the RSIS Board of Governors will share their regional expertise ad their broad knowledge of global issues: Professor Michael Brown of George Washington University (on Europe), Professor Bates Gill of Macquarie University (on Asia), and Dean Vali Nasr of Johns Hopkins University (on the Middle East). In addition to providing their assessments of the Trump administration’s foreign policy actions to date, they will look ahead to the international challenges they forecast for 2018 and beyond.
