The Biden administration’s international economic agenda: National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan
Hutchins Center on Fiscal and Monetary Policy at Brookings, President Biden’s National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan will outline the administration’s international economics agenda to date and the direction of this agenda going forward. Sullivan will explain how the administration’s strategy has been shaped by—and is responsive to—the core challenges facing America today. He will discuss how President Biden’s approach to industrial strategy is not just a domestic policy imperative but crucial to U.S. national security, and he will outline additional efforts that the administration is pursuing in its approach to international economic policymaking. Sullivan’s remarks come just three weeks before leaders of the Group of Seven nations meet in Hiroshima, Japan.
A Rhodes scholar and a graduate of Yale Law School, Sullivan has been, among other things, a clerk to Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, a professor, director of policy planning in Hillary Clinton’s State Department and an advisor to her presidential campaign, and national security adviser to then-Vice President Joe Biden. Following his remarks, Sullivan will be interviewed by David Wessel, director of the Hutchins Center, and take questions from the audience.
