American Power at a Crossroads
Is it even possible to "Make America Great Again"? David Rothkopf takes on American exceptionalism with Rosa Brooks, Kori Schake, and Robert Kagan.
David Rothkopf, the FP Group's CEO and editor, sits down at The Editor’s Roundtable (The E.R.) with FP columnists Rosa Brooks and Kori Schake and historian Robert Kagan. They debate Washington's current role in the world, whether President Barack Obama's choices have strengthened or weakened the United States, and whether his views on America’s unique role in the world are still unique.
