Description

As the tensions between the U.S. and China escalated, there was a growing question over what steps the Senate was taking to navigate this relationship, especially concerning issues such as the Foreign Aid Bill and the influence of Tik Tok? In the evolving landscape of economics, how can we ensure equitable access to capital for all entrepreneurs? Can the Senate impact the Israel-Palestine campus divide? 

Senator Steve Daines (Montana) joined the Los Angeles World Affairs Council to cover these topics and more, foreshadowing the 2024 Presidential election. With a great understanding of both business and policymaking, Senator Daines answered questions on the most pressing domestic and international issues that are currently top of mind for Americans. Pete Peterson, Dean of Pepperdine University's School of Public Policy, was the moderator for the fireside chat portion of the program, which preceded an audience Q&A segment.
