3/9 US National Security
@heatherwilly: A new nat'l security strategy could emphasize a renewed commitment to the US’ allies as an important deterrence signal to Russia & provide a vision for future arms control.https://www.chathamhouse.org/2020/10/us-foreign-policy-priorities/03-responding-russian-adventurism …Show this thread -
4/9 How to engage with Iran
@SanamVakil: Tehran is certainly going to seek compensation for the economic impact of US withdrawal, and in this respect all sides should consider what face-saving incentives could be offered to ease tensions & build trust.https://www.chathamhouse.org/2020/10/us-foreign-policy-priorities/04-regional-security-process-middle-east …Show this thread -
5/9 Global trade
@MPetsinger: Increased partisanship will not go away anytime soon; nor will internal divisions within the Dem and Rep parties be readily overcome. These constraints limit the potential for a large-scale realignment of US trade policy.https://www.chathamhouse.org/2020/10/us-foreign-policy-priorities/05-whats-stake-global-trade …Show this thread -

8/9 Latin America and The Caribbean
@ChrisSabatini: The next US admin must help Latin America and the Caribbean, which will experience at least 9.3% decline in GDP, rebuild their economies & calm the likely social and political upheaval.https://www.chathamhouse.org/2020/10/us-foreign-policy-priorities/08-recovering-us-standing-latin-america-and-caribbean …Show this thread -
9/9 US foreign policy values
@londonvinjamuri: 'The return to a values-based US foreign policy is likely, but will face multiple challenges. Democracy and human rights are backsliding in several of America's key partners, and also at home.'https://www.chathamhouse.org/2020/10/us-foreign-policy-priorities/09-values-based-us-foreign-policy …Show this thread
