Ukraine, China and the Future of U.S. Foreign Policy

Journalists, politicians, authors and newsmakers from around the world come together at the Crosscut Ideas Festival to take a hard look at the people, policy and events that shape our lives.

Ukraine, China and the Future of U.S. Foreign Policy

Season 3 Episode 4 | 45m 34s | CC

Congressman Adam Smith has said that the war in Ukraine is a "defining moment" for the world. It has reaffirmed the U.S. relationship with NATO, but tensions have risen over China's plans for Taiwan, which it claims as its territory, but which the U.S. has vowed to defend. We speak to Rep. Smith about how to manage our economic reliance on a competing nation while keeping global order intact.
