Course Description

President Donald Trump identified his national security doctrine “America First” as associated with a “Strong America.” But some foreign leaders have interpreted “Strong America” as an America beating a retreat from world affairs, especially following the President’s statements affirming the withdrawal of American troops from Syria and Afghanistan. More so, as the U.S. enters into a great power competition with Russia and China, while fighting an expansive war on terrorism, some have questioned the U.S. strategies and foresightedness in meeting multiple threats and challenges. This lecture series examines some major challenges to U.S. national security with the objective of assessing and qualifying whether or not U.S. strategies are making America stronger.
