James Steinberg: Foreign Policy Priorities of the Obama Administration
March 15, 2010
On March 15, Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg delivered remarks at the Atlantic Council, outlining the foreign policy approach the Obama administration has taken since taking office over a year ago. The Deputy Secretary outlined the legacy challenges it inherited, its affirmative agenda for creating its own foreign policy brand, and discussed the surprises the Obama administration has had to deal with in the conduct of diplomacy and national security policy. He then took questions from the audience on subjects such as the Middle East peace process, U.S.-China relations, and America’s relationship with Turkey.
This event was featured as part of the Council's National Security Series. The Series serves as a platform for leading figures from the Administration and Congress to shape the public debate on critical issues in national security; previous participants include General James L. Jones and Senator Richard Lugar.

He was the former director of Foreign Policy studies at Brookings and also a nonresident senior fellow while dean of the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas in Austin. From December 1996 to August 2000, Mr. Steinberg served as deputy national security advisor to President Bill Clinton. During that period he also served as the president's personal representative (“Sherpa”) to the 1998 and 1999 G-8 summits.
