Trump vs. Harris: Whose Foreign Policy Will Win the 2024 Election?

The November presidential election is less than three months away and despite conventional wisdom, foreign policy and national security issues are playing a role in the campaign discourse, helping to define the campaigns and the candidates and reflecting Americans’ often polarized views on the major conflicts of the day. There are three major issues upon which the major candidates — Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump — can define their foreign policy, if they haven’t already: Ukraine, Gaza, and U.S. competition with China, including a potential conflict over Taiwan.

We’ve pulled together a roundtable of political and foreign policy experts on both sides of the political spectrum to have a candid discussion about how these issues are playing out in the campaigns and with voters, and what we might expect from either candidate if he or she were to win the presidency in November.
