Résumé détaillé

American University of Beirut, Distinguished Public Policy Fellow and non-resident Senior Fellow at the Arab Center Washington DC.

Trump’s failed war on its own, however, is not why the Democrats pounded the Republicans and now control the Senate and House of Representatives for the next two years.
