Views from Abroad: Anticipating US Foreign Policy under Biden
Much of the post-election talk in Washington foreign policy circles is focusing on the “return to normality” in America’s approach to the world. How is the world viewing that prospect? What do experts in China, Russia, Europe, and Israel expect from Biden, and how eager are U.S. partners and competitors for the return of conventionality in American foreign policy?
The Center for the National Interest assembled a distinguished group of panelists to present views from abroad on these matters in a webinar hosted on Monday, December 7.
