GVPT Professor Shibley Telhami Analyzes Trump’s Potential Middle East Policy

Shibley Telhami, Anwar Sadat Professor for Peace and Development and Distinguished Scholar-Teacher, recently joined a discussion at the Northwestern Buffett Institute for Global Affairs on What a Trump Administration Means for U.S. Foreign Policy in the Middle East. They explored potential implications for U.S. policy in the region, including:

• Trump’s Gaza plan deemed “shocking” in its morality and practicality.
• U.S. foreign policy risks faltering by excluding Arab voices and supporting oppressive regimes.
• Trump’s rhetoric may challenge U.S. interests in the Middle East, particularly on Iran.
