They also discuss what to expect from NATO's June summit in The Hague and the ramifications of the erosion of the United States' soft power following cuts to foreign aid funds. Plus, Ollongren shares why gender diversity is important in foreign policy. Episode produced by Leo Sidran. Original music composed and produced by Leo Sidran.
