Jake Sullivan: Hillary Clinton’s Top Foreign Policy Advisor

As the 2016 primary season hits the home stretch, Asia Society is pleased to host a special event with Jake Sullivan, chief foreign policy advisor to the Hillary Clinton Presidential Campaign. Sullivan will participate in a conversation with Asia Society Policy Institute President Kevin Rudd on what are arguably the most consequential and challenging global issues and relationships the next U.S. president will have to manage—those between the United States and Asia, and China in particular.

As Secretary of State, Clinton was a central actor in the Obama administration’s so-called “pivot to Asia.” As a 2016 presidential candidate, she has questioned one of the strategy’s main pillars: the Trans-Pacific Partnership. There are profound challenges looming across the continent—from Afghanistan to Iran, the Korean Peninsula to the South China Sea, along with other issues such as cybersecurity espionage, counter terrorism, and climate change.

How would a Hillary Clinton administration manage these challenges? What would the potential implications be for U.S. relations with China, India, and ASEAN? Join us for this special event.

With the Hon. Kevin Rudd, President of the Asia Society Policy Institute (ASPI). He served as Australia’s 26th Prime Minister and as Foreign Minister. He is a fluent Mandarin speaker and the author of the recent report U.S.-China 21: The Future of U.S.-China Relations Under Xi Jinping.
