The speaker will argue that, in his first term, Barack Obama took a less expansive view of America's role in the world than any US president since the attack on Pearl Harbor. Ambassador Bolton will review the Obama administration's first-term foreign policy, including its approach to WMD proliferation, terrorism, defence spending, the US role in Iraq and Afghanistan, and relations with Russia and China.
Looking ahead, he will consider the priorities for Obama's second term and the prospects for America's future global role.
