Editor’s note: On July 16, 2024, the U.S. Department of Justice arraigned CFR Senior Fellow Sue Mi Terry on charges of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). CFR has a rigorous FARA compliance policy and takes these allegations very seriously. Dr. Terry was placed on unpaid administrative leave as soon as CFR was made aware of the indictment.

Following the 70th anniversary of the start of the Korean War on June 25, panelists discuss how the war altered U.S. foreign policy, divided Korea, and had long lasting effects in the region.
