President Clinton/Trump: The Asia Inbox

1110_asia-inboxOn November 8, the world will watch as the 45th President of the United States is chosen. Regardless of the outcome of the election, the new president will have to contend with a wide array of competing priorities both at home and abroad. In the days and weeks that follow, a clearer picture of the president-elect’s vision for the U.S. and the world are expected to take shape—including American engagement with Asia.

Join us for a panel discussion with Ambassador Nicholas Burns, Ashley Tellis, Yun Sun, and Jon Williams, on what lies in store for the next president, and for U.S. relations with the nations of Asia. What issues are highest in priority? From Iran to India, China to North Korea, maritime disputes to climate change to the threat of terrorism, what should the U.S. role and posture be?

SPEAKERS

Ambassador Nicholas Burns is Professor of the Practice of Diplomacy and International Relations at the Harvard Kennedy School of Government. He is Director of the Future of Diplomacy Project and Faculty Chair for the Programs on the Middle East and on India and South Asia.

Ashley Tellis is a Senior Associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and was recently involved in negotiating the civil nuclear agreement with India. He is also Research Director of the Strategic Asia Program at the National Bureau of Asian Research and co-editor of the program’s twelve most recent annual volumes, including this year’s Strategic Asia 2015–16: Foundations of National Power.

Yun Sun is Senior Associate with the East Asia Program at the Henry L. Stimson Center and a non-resident fellow of the Brookings Institution. Her expertise is in Chinese foreign policy, U.S.-China relations and China’s relations with neighboring countries and authoritarian regimes.

Jon Williams (moderator) is managing editor for international news at ABC News. Prior to his current role, he spent seven years as world editor at the BBC, where he managed a staff of 200 people in 30 different countries, shaping the organization’s news coverage and strategy. In 2007, the BBC‘s coverage of the Israel-Lebanon conflict won an international Emmy in the news category.

This program made possible through the generous support of the Nicholas Platt Endowment for Public Policy.
