Integrated Deterrence in a Multi-polar World
Is the United States at Risk? (Part 1)
Presented by Shield Capital
The Newport National Security Symposium, part of the Strategic Issues Series, was held on August 17, 2023, and welcomed distinguished speakers from across the defense, intelligence, and academic communities to share their perspectives on the U.S. economy’s potential risks in a multi-polar world. This year’s theme expanded on the 2022 United States National Security Strategy. China and Russia remain critical threats to the U.S. due to their increasing alignment and the distinct challenges each poses.
