Strategic Competition in the Second Trump Administration

Jan 26, 2025Shinzo Abe Initiative for Peace and Security, News

The strategic competition between the United States and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) emerged prominently during Donald Trump’s first administration. Policies such as tariffs and trade restrictions, initially implemented under Trump, were subsequently maintained and expanded under Joe Biden’s administration.

On January 22, 2025, as the makeup of the second Trump Administration takes shape and following the President’s priorities outlined in his inaugural address, the Wilson Center convened its leading experts on China, the Indo-Pacific, Russia, and the Middle East in addition to keynote remarks from Hon. John Moolenaar, Member of the United States House of Representatives.

Moderator: Mark Kennedy, Director, the Wilson Center’s Wahba Institute for Strategic Competition

This event is part of the Indo-Pacific Spark Initiative, a collaboration between the Boston Global Forum and the Wilson Center. Here is the video of the event
