Join the San Diego World Affairs Council at its 2019 Annual Dinner, featuring a keynote address by Ambassador (ret.) R. Nicholas Burns on "American Foreign Policy in the Trump Era."
Ambassador Burns will discuss major trends challenging global peace and stability, among them a weakening U.S. leadership role, the U.S.-China competition for power in the Indo-Pacific, and the North Korea nuclear crisis. He will also examine prospects for stability in the Middle East and Europe as well as the deepening political crisis in the U.S. and its impact on foreign policy. A Q&A will follow.
