The global challenges facing the next US President

The World Tonight

Available for over a year

The US Presidential race now looks increasingly like a battle between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. But what would President Trump or President Clinton do about the big foreign policy issues facing the United States? Multi-dimensional war in Syria; Putin flexing his muscles in Russia; Beijing's territorial claims in the South China Sea. These headaches and more await the next occupant of the White House. Ritula Shah chairs a discussion with a panel of experts at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington.
