CFR Events Video

The first session of the Stephen C. Freidheim Symposium on Global Economics will feature remarks and a discussion with U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen.
Secretary Yellen will discuss different perspectives on U.S. international economic policy, including arguments that the U.S. should withdraw from the global economy, efforts to deliver the benefits of global growth to Americans, how to address global challenges like pandemics, climate change, and conflict through partnerships, and how to strengthen competitiveness and national security.
Session Two, “Defining Economic Security,” will be held at a later date. Information about this session will be announced shortly.
The symposium is made possible through the generous support of Council board member Stephen C. Freidheim and is copresented by the Maurice R. Greenberg Center for Geoeconomic Studies and RealEcon: Reimagining American Economic Leadership.
For those attending virtually, log-in information and instructions on how to participate during the question and answer portion will be provided the evening before the event to those who register. Please note the audio, video, and transcript of this meeting will be posted on the CFR website.
