Conference Brings together Brightest Minds on Foreign Policy in America's Interest

Former Senator Jim Webb

On November 15, The American Conservative hosted leading scholars, journalists and policy makers to discuss the future of American policy with a focus on realism, nationalism, and president-elect Donald Trump. Among the speakers were former Senator Jim Webb, and Congressman Thomas Massie.

Former U.S. Senator and Secretary of the Navy Jim Webb delivered a keynote address at the conference, “Foreign Policy in America’s Interest: Realism, Nationalism, and the Next President”, held at George Washington University in downtown Washington, DC. Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), a Congressional critic of unauthorized military interventions, also made remarks, while other political analysts and foreign-policy experts discussed what type of mandate Donald Trump will have as he takes office and how the new administration should handle relations with Russia. A final discussion with prominent historians and scholars reflected on what 2016 means for the country’s longstanding commitment to intervention and globalism.
