Donald Trump campaigned on a vision of “America First,” heralding potentially significant changes in U.S. foreign policy. How much of that was rhetoric, and how much is likely to become reality?

In our April Knowledge by the Slice lunchtime series, a panel of faculty experts from the Department of Political Science assessed the first few months of the Trump administration and what they suggest about the present and future of U.S. foreign policy, from Asia to Europe to the Middle East and beyond.
