Last week was a big one in the world of foreign policy. It began with the Group of Seven meeting in the Bavarian Alps, during which President Joe Biden, along with other G7 leaders, announced a $600 billion global infrastructure initiative to counter China’s controversial Belt and Road Initiative. (If you can get infrastructure done at home, why not try it abroad, too, right?) The week then moved on to the Brussels Forum, hosted by the German Marshall Fund, where think tankers, politicians from the U.S. and Europe, and journalists mingled and discussed the most pressing issue for the transatlantic alliance: the war in Ukraine. Events finally wrapped up in Madrid, where NATO was holding a summit, during which the alliance released its 2022 “strategic concept,” a decennial policy document outlining its political concerns and military vision.
