Join POLITICO’s annual Defense Summit featuring exclusive interviews and expert discussions on the state of our global security and the U.S. race to strengthen alliances and outpace adversaries. From Russia’s war on Ukraine to China’s threats to Taiwan, and with renewed conflict in the Middle East, the U.S. is under pressure to deter, defend, and fight in more ways—and not everyone agrees how. We’ll explore the latest in new weapons and procurement, advanced tech and AI, spending priorities and policy debates, and the turbulent global and domestic politics governing it all, from the Pentagon to the 2024 presidential campaign trail.
