Foreign Policy is continuing to drastically impact the everyday lives of American citizens. From Chinese purchases of American land, to balloons surveilling our country, to the deadly fentanyl epidemic, the connection between what is happening abroad and what is happening here at home is clearer than ever.

Join Senator Joni Ernst and Vandenberg’s Executive Director, Carrie Filipetti for a discussion on these issues, and the Senator’s vision of a stronger, prouder American foreign policy.
