Japan, South Korea, and the U.S. Vision of "Peace Through Strength"
What does the new administration’s policy of “America First” mean for regional security and economic growth in the future? Join us for a discussion on how Seoul and Tokyo view the first few weeks of the Trump administration, and what to expect in the future.
Overview
In their essay released on the eve of Donald Trump’s election victory, Peter Navarro and Alexander Gray stated that the new president would reappraise U.S. national interests on the one hand, but also work closely with countries sharing Washington’s goals.

But what does the new administration’s policy of “America First” mean for regional security and economic growth in the future? Join us for a discussion on how Seoul and Tokyo view the first few weeks of the Trump administration, and what to expect in the future.
