The Trump administration presents major uncertainties for countries in the Asia-Pacific region, trying to determine how the United States will deal with threats from the Korean Peninsula, an increasingly complex U.S.-China relationship, and trade and economic opportunities. Michael J. Green, Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and Senior Director for Asian Affairs under former U.S. President George W. Bush, will provide his perspectives on the Trump administration's approach to Asia, and its key bilateral relationships and security challenges.

Green is Senior Vice President for Asia and Japan Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and Chair in modern and contemporary Japanese politics and foreign policy at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University.

Bush administration. Prior to that, Dr. Green was Senior Fellow for East Asian security at the Council on Foreign Relations, Director of the Edwin O.
