Great Decisions Lecture Series: State of the State Department and Diplomacy

During the Trump administration, the usual ways of conducting diplomacy have been upended. Many positions in the State Department have never been filled, and meetings with foreign leaders such as Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin have been undertaken with little advance planning. What effect are these changes having now, and how will they affect ongoing relationships between the United States and its allies and adversaries? From author Nicholas Burns.

The Muskogee Public Library welcomes Dr. Don Betz as our lecturer and facilitator for this event. Dr. Betz has been a long-time speaker for our Great Decisions series and this is his last lecture. We encourage those of you who have participated in this series to be with us for this event.
