The Biden-Putin Summit in Geneva: Creating a more stable and predictable relationship?
June 22nd,2021 | 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Professor/Instructor/Speaker: Lena Surzhko-Harned, Ph.D.
In the last few years, the relationship between the US and Russia have hit the lowest point since the end of the Cold War. While other US presidents attempted to "reset" these relations or find ways to "get along with Russia," the Biden administration seeks to reach 'predictable strategic stability'. Did the Geneva Summit yield the desired results? What is the future of the Russia-US relations?
This event will be live-streamed on our Facebook page and later posted to our Youtube Channel and Website (www.JESerie.org).
