U.S. POLICY TOWARD ASIA UNDER A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION: A LOOK AHEAD

Due to an overwhelming response, we have reached venue capacity and are no longer accepting RSVPs. 

On November 8, the American electorate chose Donald Trump as their next President. Mr. Trump comes to office with a declared intent to drastically change U.S. trade policy and to reassess U.S. alliances, including in Asia. Faced with the realities of governing, however, how will the new administration shape its policies toward Asia? How will it tackle both economic and security challenges in the region, and globally?

A panel of Stanford experts, just returned from South Korea and Japan and discussions there with Asian policy makers, will discuss these questions.

The panelists:

Gi-Wook Shin, Senior Fellow, Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies; Professor of Sociology; Director, Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center; Director, Korea Program, Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center

Michael Armacost, Shorenstein APARC Distinguished Fellow; Former U.S. Ambassador to Japan

Takeo Hoshi, Henri H. and Tomoye Takahashi Senior Fellow in Japanese Studies, Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies; Director, Japan Program, Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center

Kathleen Stephens, William J. Perry Distinguished Fellow; Former U.S. Ambassador to Korea
