In this special Election 2020 series of The President’s Inbox, James M. Lindsay sits down each week with several experts with different views on how the United States should handle its foreign policy challenges. This week, he discusses what Qasem Soleiman’s death means for the Middle East with Steven A. Cook, CFR’s Eni Enrico Mattei senior fellow for Middle East and Africa studies, Philip H. Gordon, CFR’s Mary and David Boies senior fellow in U.S. foreign policy, and Ray Takeyh, CFR’s Hasib J. Sabbagh senior fellow for Middle East studies.
