ADVISORY: Ranking Member Shaheen to Discuss Major Committee Report on Trump Administration’s Global Retreat and China’s Strategic Gains at Center for Strategic and International Studies Fireside Chat

WASHINGTON—On Tuesday, July 15 at 8:45am ET, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, will participate in a fireside discussion with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) on the future of U.S. soft power and competition with China.  

Ranking Member Shaheen will discuss today’s release of Senate Foreign Relations Committee Democrats’ new report, “The Price of Retreat: America Cedes Global Leadership to China,” which examines how the Trump Administration’s retreat from global engagement has weakened U.S. diplomatic, development and soft power institutions and created a vacuum that China is eager to fill at America’s expense. The fireside chat will be moderated by CSIS President and CEO Dr. John J. Hamre and will be followed by a dialogue with a panel of experts.
