Journalist Martin Sieff, who has earned three Pulitzer Prize nominations for international reporting, will discuss “Donald Trump and the World” at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 3 at the College of Law. The talk is is free and open to the public.
Sieff also will address ONU’s students at noon on May 3 at the law school. This lecture is also open to the public.
Since Donald Trump’s election, Sieff has toured the United States, putting on seminars for admirals and Air Force generals about how Trump will respond to international crises. Wednesday’s “Donald Trump and the World” is the same talk he has given to the admirals and generals.
Sieff’s presentation will move across the world, focusing on the crisis in North Korea, trade with China, relations with Russia, the prospects for Middle East peace, refugees in Western Europe and illegal immigration in the United States.
For more than 40 years, Sieff has reported from 70 countries and covered 12 wars. His work has been recognized by his peers with three Pulitzer Prize nominations for international reporting.
Sieff has written five books, among them “The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Middle East,” “Shifting Super Powers” (U.S. relations with China and India), and a history of free trade and protectionism called “That Should Still be Us.” He is at work on a book called “Unlikely Angels,” which tells the story of how brave individuals have stopped genocides and saved hundreds of thousands of people from being murdered.
Both talks are sponsored by the Committee on Cultural and Special Events, with the College of Law and Phi Beta Delta international affairs honor society also co-sponsoring each event.
