Headlines surrounding topics in the Middle East are regularly part of our daily news cycle. We are used to hearing about the region’s challenges and often watch without fully understanding the entire situation. There’s political turnover, volatile oil prices, Islamic extremism, and a refugee crisis that affects not only the Middle East but the entire world.
Join us as we explore the current hot spots in the Middle East and the U.S. policy implications for the new administration.
