Three foreign policy goals for Obama’s final term
Obama should finalize three policy efforts after the election. He would set rules for cyberspace with Russia, push the Raqqa battle to degrade IS, and seek to pass the Trans-Pacific Partnership in a lame duck session. The cyber framework aims to deter escalation while preserving stability. The Raqqa push relies on the Kurdish led SDF amid Turkish opposition. The TPP effort hinges on Republican support to counter China’s influence.
