Congressman Michael McCaul has been at the center of Congress’s foreign policy debates over the past two decades, first as chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee and later as the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. As a leading voice on global affairs, McCaul’s bipartisan approach to foreign policy has shaped congressional debates on strategic competition with China, support for U.S. allies and partners, and promoting American leadership abroad.
As Chairman Emeritus McCaul prepares to leave Congress and begin a new chapter of his service to the nation, please join Mariano-Florentino (Tino) Cuéllar, president of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, for a conversation with the congressman reflecting on his legacy on Capitol Hill, his views on the future of American global leadership, and the lessons that his career offers to the next generation of policymakers.
