How do electoral politics, especially in a Presidential election year, affect the way in which the U.S. interacts with the rest of the world? To help us discuss that subject we are joined by experts in two critical regions and two policy areas: U.S. relations with China and with Europe, and U.S. trade policy and U.S. defense policy.
