October 26 @ 7:30 pm - PBK Lecture Professor Stephen Walt, “Where is U.S. Foreign Policy Headed?”

Stephen Walt Belfer Professor of International Affairs Harvard University

“Where is U.S. Foreign Policy Headed?” This lecture explores the future of U.S. foreign policy under President Trump. I argue that Trump was elected in part because there was growing public dissatisfaction with U.S. foreign policy. This dissatisfaction is not surprising because U.S. foreign policy has had many failures and few successes since the end of the Cold War.
