National Security, the Midterms, and the 114th Congress
President Obama does not want a new war. It will be up to the new Congress to decide, alongside the president, what American foreign policy and strategy will be for the next two years.

Speaking at a panel discussion co-sponsored by CQ Roll Call and Just Security, Carnegie’s Rachel Kleinfeld discussed President Obama’s foreign policy challenges. Kleinfeld explained that, when Obama came into office, the United States was already engaged in two wars. His campaign was built on his steadfast opposition to those wars and efforts to end them. Now everyone knows that he will not be able to completely succeed. But one thing is clear: he does not want to have a third war. It will be up to this new Congress to decide, alongside the president, what American foreign policy and strategy will be for the next two years.
