IQ2US: Trump and US national security

Intelligence Squared U.S.

For the United States, tensions are rising with both allies and adversaries. Rogue states are racing to master new technologies and create weapons of mass destruction. And faith in international institutions is seemingly deteriorating. What does this all mean for U.S. national security?

Staged in the "Intelligence Squared U.S." "unresolved" format, five esteemed foreign policy thought leaders will argue for or against a number of motions revolving around some of America’s most pressing national security issues, including:

  • Is NATO no longer fit for purpose?
  • Is the Russia threat overblown?
  • And is it time to take a hard line on Iran?

Tune in this Sunday, October 7 at 7 p.m. for "Intelligence Squared U.S." on WRVO. If you missed the broadcast live, you can listen online.
