Marking the 50th anniversary year of President Nixon’s historic 1972 trips to China and the Soviet Union, the Richard Nixon Foundation launched the inaugural Grand Strategy Summit in Washington, D.C. last week.
National security experts and strategists gathered to formulate an American foreign policy strategy that can apply to all parts of the world and called for a return to the principles of the Nixon-era foreign policy, based in conservative realism, that offer the best example.
Panelists covered the United States’ relationship with China as a major power in the 21st century, weighed the impact and next steps of ongoing Russian aggression in Ukraine, and looked to the future of Western influence in the Middle East.
