What do the elections mean for American Foreign Policy?
Who’s in? Who’s out? Who gains power? Who loses?
The day after the midterm congressional elections, SAIS professors sift the tea leaves and offer insights into what the outcomes mean for American foreign policy.
At a minimum, the 116th Congress will have nearly 100 new members. New people will chair key committees. Party control may change.
Will the new Congress support President Trump’s foreign policies or try to restrict them? Will national security budgets go up or down? What should we expect?
Panelists:
Eliot Cohen, Vice Dean for Education and Academic Affairs & Robert E. Osgood Professor of Strategic Studies
Eric Edelman – Roger Hertog Distinguished Practitioner-in-Residence, Philip Merrill Center for Strategic Studies
Sarah Sewall – Speyer Distinguished Scholar and Professor, Kissinger Center
Charles Stevenson – Acting Associate Director, American Foreign Policy Program
