On this episode of the AEI Events Podcast, join AEI and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs for the release of the council’s 2018 report on American attitudes toward US global leadership and a discussion on the future of America’s role in the world.

Strong global leadership has been a pillar of US foreign policy for more than half a century, but some believe the Trump administration’s America First agenda strays from the country’s enduring tradition of international engagement. But disengagement in the Middle East and an empty “pivot to Asia” in the Obama administration also signaled a similar drift from internationalism. For years, public support of the nation’s visible role in the world was a given, but is there a more fundamental shift in American thinking?

    Of course we can do more both at home and abroad! It’s not like we’re running a trillion dollar plus deficit or anything. Can you guys kindly just label yourselves as not-really-cons up front so I know not to support you. Holy Cow! We need more debt hawks, not more profligate spenders!
