Join Hudson Institute for a conversation with Under Secretary of State Keith Krach on how the Trump administration is developing strategies and implementing new approaches to protect America’s economic security even as it battles the COVID-19 virus.
President Trump’s National Security Strategy recognized that the world is an inherently competitive place. In addition to its geopolitical and military focus, the strategy emphasized the critical link between economic security and national security. A strong, vibrant, and innovative economy is essential to the well-being of all Americans and the protection of our national security interests.
What is the Trump administration doing to ensure the vitality of America’s economy as it secures fundamental foreign policy objectives? In a time of pandemic, what challenges pose the greatest threat to America’s national interests abroad and economic success at home?
