Presidential priorities: W&M professor on candidates' long-term policies
On Nov. 8, Americans will cast their vote to determine if business magnate Donald J. Trump or former U.S. Secretary of State Hillary R. Clinton will be the next president of the United States.
William & Mary News recently sat down with several of the university’s own experts to discuss what each candidate’s presidential priorities may be in national defense, the economy and domestic and foreign policies once elected.
In this video, first in the series on foreign policy, Lawrence Wilkerson, distinguished adjunct professor of government and public policy, talks about what he believes will be the most important long-term priority for the next president.
