U.S. Foreign Policy at a Crossroads

with Mitch Lerner

The U.S. currently faces a world of challenge and uncertainty. This talk will consider Trump's foreign policy within the long arc of American foreign relations. Registration required.

The United States currently faces a world of challenge and uncertainty. President Trump has upended the nation’s traditional approaches to international relations, rejecting conventional alliances and tactics in favor of what the President calls an “America First” approach to the globe. This talk will consider Trump’s foreign policy within the long arc of American foreign relations, and situate his approach within the broad frameworks that have defined recent American approaches to the world around us.

He has also won Ohio State’s highest teaching honor, the Alumni Association Award for Distinguished Teaching, and the Ohio Academy of History’s highest teaching award: the Distinguished Teacher Prize.
