National security, the next president, and restoring American leadership: A conversation w/ Ed Royce

On January 12, President Barack Obama will deliver his final State of the Union address. After the Paris and San Bernardino attacks, Americans will be listening closely to see whether the president offers concrete ideas for restoring American leadership amid growing threats to the homeland and the international order built and sustained by the United States since World War II.

• How can the Islamic State and al Qaeda be defeated — both militarily and ideologically?
• How can China be persuaded to stop its attempts to redraw the rules in the Western Pacific and in cyberspace?
• How can Russian President Vladimir Putin be convinced to respect the sovereignty of Moscow’s neighbors and reverse Russia’s drift away from the community of nations?
• How can the United States prevent Iran from using sanctions relief from the nuclear deal to support the malign influence of Hezbollah and the murderous reign of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad?

Less than a week before Obama outlines his legislative agenda, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Ed Royce will discuss with Danielle Pletka the current state of American foreign policy and the importance of American leadership to defend and advance freedom, security, and free markets both at home and abroad.
