The ongoing conflict in Ukraine, now in its third year, continues to raise questions about the role of major global powers in shaping potential peace terms. The involvement of China and the influence of the Trump administration on China's policies towards Ukraine and Russia are central to these discussions. This situation unfolds amid a broader U.S.-China relationship characterized by strategic rivalry but also a need for cooperation on global issues.
On June 3, the John L. Thornton China Center at Brookings will host a fireside chat featuring R. Nicholas Burns, former U.S. Ambassador to China and NATO. The event will be moderated by Brookings scholars Patricia Kim and Jonathan Czin. The discussion will focus on how the United States and China might impact the war's trajectory in Ukraine and manage their global responsibilities amidst rising tensions. Audience members can participate by submitting questions via email or social media.
This event is part of the Brookings Global China project, which provides policy recommendations on how the United States should address China's actions affecting American interests and values. A companion written Q&A with Brookings scholars offers further insights into this topic.
