The Situation in Afghanistan and America’s Interests in the Region

Episode Summary

More than three and a half years after President Joe Biden’s withdrawal of United States forces from Afghanistan, the Afghan people and the broader region continue to suffer the consequences. The US withdrawal enabled the resurgence of transnational terrorist groups, emboldened America’s adversaries, and raised doubts among US partners about Washington’s long-term commitments. As the security situation in Afghanistan deteriorates, the Trump administration should reassess America’s approach to the country and US strategic posture in the region. At Hudson, General Jack Keane (Ret.) will deliver a keynote address. Then a panel of experts will discuss the future of Afghanistan and US interests in South and Central Asia.
