What will be the U.S. role in the next global paradigm?

We asked our guest Robert O’Brien, former National Security Advisor during Trump’s first term, to help us define U.S. success amid a landscape that is shifting, often because of changes emanating from Washington. We’ll delve into the National Security Strategy, the administration’s vision for alliances and trade, and how it sees the global interests of the world’s leading economic power.

Most importantly, at a time when the U.S. policy shifts happen faster than planning cycles, we’ll ask the former advisor to help us identify which signals matter the most for business.

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 viewing thereafter. Information on membership is available here.
