Condoleezza Rice’s advice for the next US president

“Whoever inhabits the White House in January needs to recognize that the United States doesn’t have a choice now but to be involved in the world and to try to shape the international environment,” former US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Tuesday during an Atlantic Council Front Page event at the inaugural Global Future Forum. “Great powers don’t mind their own business. So, the real question is: Do you want Russia and China to shape the international environment? Or do we want to shape the international environment with our allies?” Rice’s discussion with Atlantic Council President and CEO Frederick Kempe covered a wide range of pressing global issues, from Russia’s war in Ukraine and China’s moves in the Indo-Pacific to the future of artificial intelligence (AI) and the stakes of the US presidential election in November.
