Sir Iain Duncan Smith MP, former leader of the United Kingdom’s Conservative Party and founder and cochair of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, will join Hudson’s Dan Kochis to discuss the threat posed by the totalitarian axis of China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia. Sir Iain has argued that support for Ukraine is a key component in overcoming this axis and highlighted the clear links between the outcome of Russia’s war in Ukraine and China’s ambitions in the Indo-Pacific. Sir Iain has also called to rebuild the UK’s defense capabilities, retain a united Western front in the face of totalitarian pressure, and re-shore critical supply chains to address rising economic and military challenges.
America’s special relationship with the UK, bolstered by a recently announced bilateral trade agreement, is foundational to the broader transatlantic alliance. Join Hudson for a discussion with Sir Iain on the economic, political, and security measures the US and its allies need to take to defeat the rising authoritarian axis.
