President Trump鈥檚 foreign policy has been heavily scrutinized over the course of his first hundred days in office, as his early steps are likely to shape Washington鈥檚 interactions with the international community for the next four years. To examine the broader implications of the new administration鈥檚 moves in the Middle East, 华体会 hosted a bipartisan panel featuring Michael Pregent, former intelligence officer and adjunct fellow at 华体会; Marie Harf, former senior advisor for strategic communications to Secretary of State John Kerry; and David Tafuri, the State Department鈥檚 rule of law coordinator in Iraq from 2006 to 2007. On May 9, the panel assessed key strategic issues from Trump鈥檚 handling of the JCPOA to his decision to launch cruise missile strikes against a government airbase in Syria, and evaluated the long-term outlook for American foreign policy under the Trump administration. Suzanne Kianpour of BBC News moderated the discussion.
