Discuss the most critical global issues facing America today. Moderated by retired foreign service officer Jared Banks.

Trump's return has marked a break from 80 years of U.S. foreign policy leadership, embracing an "America First" approach. Examine the risks of isolation and diminished influence in relation to Trump 2.0 foreign policy.

Jared Banks retired from the Department of State's Foreign Service in 2023 after more than 20 years of public service. His career included overseas assignments to the U.S. embassies in Afghanistan, Brazil, Poland, and the United Kingdom, and the U.S. Mission to the United Nations in Geneva. While in Washington, DC, he worked on foreign policy matters related to strategic competition, international organizations, science and technology, climate and energy transition, and human rights.
