2 个月It’s striking how foreign policy continues to be a core issue, yet it feels like it was sidelined in the recent Harris-Trump debate. Asia, for example, barely got the attention it deserved, even though it plays a pivotal role in U.S. strategy. Meanwhile, the emphasis on Guam as a strategic outpost reminds us how interconnected security in the Indo-Pacific really is. With China and fentanyl, the complexity of global issues continues to deepen—solutions will require serious international cooperation. These are key areas that I hope get more attention as the election season unfolds.
