Securing Our Future explores how Nevada can prepare the next generation for an evolving national security landscape. Featuring CitizenWorks Founder and CEO Jamie Christensen and Desert Research Institute Research Scientist Erik Henz, our second forum will examine AI, data centers, and the workforce needed to power Nevada’s future.
As war continues between the United States, Israel, and Iran, Dr. Xiaoyu “Shawn” Pu will explain China’s perspective on the war and place it in the broader context of intensifying U.S.-China competition.
Dr. Linda Curcio-Nagy brings historical insight to one of today’s most critical strategic regions. By tracing the evolution of U.S. policy toward Latin America, she will illuminate the risks and opportunities facing American national security in the region today.
Dr. Stan Veuger, Senior Fellow in economic policy at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) will share insight on the complex world of tariffs before and now during the second Trump Administration. I expect he may be editing his slides the morning of the talk. Dr. Stephen Miller (no, not that Stephen Miller!), UNLV Professor of Economics, will bring the tariff issues closer to home with remarks about the impact to Nevada from the current/future (maybe) tariffs.
As we pivot our attention to issues of importance to the new Trump Administration, we have a myriad of topics to cover. A prevailing issue now and for the foreseeable future is how the US engages China and responds to actions that China is taking around the world.
