A New Democratic Foreign Policy Agenda: A Conversation with Rahm Emanuel

The current U.S. administration is driving one of the most significant changes to U.S. foreign policy and the international order in decades, redefining America’s global role, challenging long-standing alliances, and reshaping the geopolitical landscape. Ahead of the 2026 midterm elections, growing attention in the United States and abroad is focused on how a potential shift in political power in Washington could influence the future direction of U.S. foreign policy.

Join us for a conversation with Rahm Emanuel, former U.S. Ambassador to Japan, 55th Mayor of Chicago, White House Chief of Staff to President Barack Obama, and former Member of Congress. Drawing on decades of experience at the highest levels of government, he will discuss his vision for the Democratic Party’s foreign policy agenda and a new NATO for the 21st century. The conversation will also explore the lasting implications of recent policy changes and the strategic priorities that could shape the next chapter of U.S. global

leadership and transatlantic relations.
