USSC Briefing Room | Deterrence dialogue returns to DC

The Foreign Policy and Defence team co-host the deterrence dialogue with the Pacific Forum. This year was the first year back in DC since COVID. Defence representatives from both the United States and Australia were there and Ambassador Kevin Rudd presented a keynote address. What are the areas of alignment and difference between the US and Australia? What issues rose to the fore? What changed as a result of the dialogue?

Foreign Policy and Defence Director Professor Peter Dean and Research Associate Alice Nason address these questions in discussion with Director of Engagement and Impact Mari Koeck.
