Heine Delivers Lecture on Consequences of Trump’s Foreign Policy
On January 26, 2021, Ambassador Jorge Heine, Research Professor at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, gave a lecture during Wintersession 2021 – an event series organized by Wellesley College’s Freedom Project – on the Trump administration’s foreign policy, how it impacted the United States’ position on the global stage, and how it has altered global affairs.
Wintersession 2021 featured expert lectures on timely, pertinent topics that have excited sharply differing opinions as part of public discourse in the United States and beyond.
The withdrawal of the United States from multiple international treaties and multilateral organizations has been one of the most defining features of the Trump Administration’s foreign policy. During his lecture, titled “Implications of the Trump administration’s foreign policy on global affairs,” Heine outlined the major foreign policy shifts during President Trump’s administration, the changing global landscape in light of the diminishing leadership of the US, and implications for the United States’ domestic politics.
