Speakers:
The Trump administration finds itself with an array of foreign policy opportunities thanks to strategic shifts in the Middle East, in large part due to Israel鈥檚 efforts to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon and eliminate Iran鈥檚 proxy network, leading to new leadership in Lebanon and Syria. But other actors, including China and Russia, also seek to capitalize on the changing landscape in the region to undermine American interests.
Michael Doran, director of Hudson鈥檚 Center for Peace and Security in the Middle East, will join Senator James Risch (R-ID), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, to examine opportunities, risks, and questions for the future of American foreign policy in the Middle East.
