America’s foreign policy: A conversation with Secretary of State Antony Blinken

On July 9, leaders will gather at the 75th NATO summit in Washington, DC, at a time of immense international challenges, including wars in Europe and the Middle East, intense strategic competition with China, and a wide array of threats to stability and democracy around the world. How is the United States using diplomacy to build a world that is more peaceful, prosperous, and resilient? What are the strategies and tools that Washington can deploy to resolve conflicts, harness the opportunities presented by emerging technology, tackle food insecurity, and address the climate crisis?

On Monday, July 1, the Foreign Policy program at Brookings hosted U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in a fireside chat with Vice President and Director of Foreign Policy Suzanne Maloney to discuss the Biden administration’s foreign policy vision and the role for U.S. leadership in navigating this critical moment.
