May 27th, 2026: WACC Speaker Series with David Sanger, White House and National Security Correspondent at the New York Times, and Author — “New Cold Wars: China’s Rise, Russia’s Invasion, and America’s Struggle to Defend the West”

Few journalists have covered the shifting tides of American power more closely than Sanger. Geopolitics is playing a significant role in the new world order as the United States, Russia, and China fight for global supremacy through military strength, political maneuvering, technological advancements, and economic success. The war between Ukraine and Russia grinds on despite the international community's efforts to end the conflict. China and the U.S. are in a race to achieve AI greatness. America's global influence is waning, and its presence in the Middle East is destabilizing the region and creating major challenges for Americans right here at home. Join us for lunch as Sanger brings his signature insight to one of the most pressing questions of our time: Can America still defend Western ideals in an era of historic geopolitical change?
