Professor Emerita of Political Science and International Affairs Elizabeth Freund Larus spoke to Sputnik News for a recent segment titled “Analysis-No Chance for Substantive U.S.-China Arms Dialogue Until After U.S. Presidential Election.” On the episode, Larus says, “I expect a fair amount of shuttle diplomacy with U.S. diplomats, like Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan meeting their Chinese counterparts, likely in a third country. This is bad timing to bring conversations back on track. The Biden Administration is focused on the 2024 Presidential election, with ex-President Donald Trump leading in most polls.”
