Join Hudson Institute for a discussion with U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Kelly Craft and Hudson Senior Fellow Heather Nauert on the challenges and policy priorities facing the United States as the coronavirus strains geopolitical tensions.
From the lack of transparency and corruption in the Chinese Communist Party to the inordinate impact of the coronavirus on vulnerable populations and the growing instability in Iran, Syria, and Venezuela, the pandemic has accelerated geopolitical changes that will have short- and long-term implications for U.S. policy. Ambassador Craft will forecast the road ahead for U.S. foreign policy.
Zineb Riboua will interview Dr. Brenda Shaffer on the geopolitical implications of rising global energy competition, particularly for the Middle East.
Join Zineb Riboua, research fellow and program manager at Hudson’s Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East, for a conversation with Mariam Memarsadeghi, a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and Dr. Ladan Boroumand, cofounder of the Abdorrahman Boroumand Center. They will examine Iran’s resistance movement and shifting political landscape to identify the implications for regional stability.
Hudson will welcome Senators Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Todd Young (R-IN) to discuss their proposal to restore America’s shipping and shipbuilding industries to help deter Chinese aggression.
