Join leading experts in this event, which will seek to answer two main questions: 1) Are arms exports the best way to create jobs in the United States?; and 2) How should the administration and the Congress balance economic, strategic, and human rights factors to ensure that U.S. arms exports are serving U.S. and global security interests?
Authors of two recent research reports will discuss relevant findings as part of the discussion. See CIVIC/Stimson's "With Great Power: Modifying US Arms Sales to Reduce Civilian Harm," and Security Assistance Monitor's "Trends in Major U.S. Arms Sales in 2017: A Comparison of the Obama and Trump Administrations."
This event is co-hosted by the Security Assistance Monitor and Forum on the Arms Trade.

William Hartung, Director, Arms and Security Project, Center for International Policy
Rachel Stohl, Managing Director, Stimson Center
Veronique de Rugy, Senior Research Fellow, Mercatus Center, George Mason University
