SUMMARY:A Conversation with U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell
DESCRIPTION:Carnegie Endowment For International Peace Description: \n\nBeyond Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas\, the Biden administration has faced significant international challenges over the president’s four years in office.  President Biden and his team have contended with a range of issues including strategic competition\, growing threats to democracies\, climate change\, critical minerals supply chains\, and shaping the transformative potential of emerging tech to solve global problems without exacerbating regional economic inequality. When it comes to foreign policy\, as George Will quipped\, the American public wants as little of it as possible\, but that hasn’t been the case over the last four years. \n\n\nWhat are the key principles and assumptions that have underscored its approach to foreign policy? And what kind of world does it leave for its successors? \n\n\nU.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell has served in the Biden administration from the beginning\, first at the White House and more recently at the State Department. Join Aaron David Miller as he sits down with U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell to discuss these and other issues.

Audience Q&A will follow each session. \nViewers are welcome to submit questions via email to events@brookings.edu and via X (Twitter) to @BrookingsFP using #AlliancesandPartnerships. \nThis event is a part of Brookings’ Election ’24: Issues at Stake\, an initiative aimed to bring public attention to consequential policy issues confronting voters and policymakers in the run-up to the 2024 election.
