What Does Richard Haass See for the U.S. in 2025 and Beyond?

The U.S. will face a slew of foreign policy issues that will require attention in the months and years ahead: a weakened Iran in the Middle East, an economically struggling China, an expiring nuclear arms deal with Russia, a prolonged war in Ukraine, and a long list of economic issues involving friends and rivals alike.    These challenges, and geopolitics in general, are rising to the top of the agenda of any U.S. business operating across borders. For 2025’s first episode of The Call, the Global Intelligence Desk is delighted to host an extended, live conversation with Richard Haass, President Emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations.  Haass, a former senior advisor to the U.S. State Department and author of the weekly newsletter, Home & Away, helps us explore the dynamics shaping the debate over the future of U.S. foreign policy. -The Call is a series of live video conversations featuring expert guests from the U.S. Chamber's Global Intelligence Desk. Live access to The Call is a benefit to the Chamber’s members; however, we are pleased to provide recordings of the calls for wider listening thereafter.Learn more about the Global Intelligence Desk: https://globalintelligencedesk.com/Join the conversation on LinkedIn:   / global-intelligence-desk
