Dr. F. Gregory Gause, III - The Trump Administration and the Middle East

Описание: The Trump Administration has made some noticeable and important changes in Middle East policy – withdrawing from the JCPOA, moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem. But how different is the Trump approach to the region from his predecessors? Less than the surface disruptions might indicate. This talk will examine the continuities in American policy toward the Middle East from the Obama Administration, the consequences of the new posture toward Iran and the difficulties the Trump Administration faces with Saudi Arabia, the Syrian and Yemeni civil wars, and the Arab-Israeli peace process.
