National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan spoke with Duke students about the Biden administration’s current national security challenges and priorities for the year over Zoom Thursday evening. Sapiro opened the event by asking Sullivan about the surprises and challenges he has faced over the past year and how COVID-19 has changed the role of national security. Looking forward, Sullivan hopes to unite many of the world’s powerful nations to combat what he considers the three most serious threats to national security and global quality of life over the next several years: the pandemic, climate change and cyber warfare.
