America’s Foreign Policy Toolkit

This event is being held in-person and is open to everyone.

America’s foreign policy institutions are undergoing some of the fastest changes in recent history. Major shifts at the Defense Department, State Department, and the elimination of the U.S. Agency for International Development are reshaping the dynamics among defense, development, and diplomacy which traditionally guided U.S. global engagement. How has America’s foreign policy toolkit changed over the past several months?

Join Global Minnesota for a timely, in-depth panel discussion exploring the impact of recent changes on U.S. foreign policy and what this means for America’s role on the global stage. Featuring seasoned experts from the defense, development, and diplomatic arenas, this program will offer valuable perspectives on the challenges and opportunities ahead. Ample free parking is available in the International Institute of Minnesota parking lot.
