In early November, Donald Trump will visit Asia for the first time since assuming the presidency. As he heads to take part in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum, he will also be visiting Japan, South Korea, China, and the Philippines at a time of increasing regional uncertainty. While North Korea will undoubtedly be at the top of the agenda, there are longer-term issues at stake, such as managing a risen China just coming out of a major Party Congress as well as setting the course to sustain the long-term stability and prosperity of the world’s most populous region. Join us to discuss the issues at play and how it will affect U.S. national interests.
RSVP here.
