Great Decisions Series: America and the World

Registration is required for this event.

Registration will close on January 6, 2026 @ 1:00 pm.

JANUARY 6: Trump 2.0 Foreign Policy

Trump’s return has marked a break from 80 years of U.S. foreign policy leadership, embracing an “America First” approach. This chapter explores the risks of isolation and diminished influence in relation to Trump 2.0 foreign policy.

We are excited to present new topics from global and national issues with information to keep us informed and prepared as family members and engaged citizens. We will continue the Great Decision Series of programs, prepared by the Foreign Policy Association. Briefing books for this series will be provided to those who register for the Great Decisions Programs, with the expectation that those attending will have read each program’s briefing before the presentation.
