Livestream—From Tariffs to WTO Reform: The Next Era of Global Commerce
2025-09-16 17:00 - 18:00 (America/Chicago)
Join us online as Sir Conor Burns discusses the future of global commerce.

Global trade is entering a period of transition as governments revisit tariffs, adopt new non-tariff measures and weigh reforms to international institutions. These shifts raise important questions about how the United States and its partners can adapt to a more competitive and multipolar world.
On Sept. 16, former U.K. trade policy at the Department for International Trade, Sir Conor Burns, will join Ambassador David Satterfield for a discussion on the changing landscape of global trade. The conversation will address the renewed use of tariffs compared with other trade measures, prospects for reforming the World Trade Organization, and the long-term implications of the current U.S. trade approach.. They will also consider how the global trading system may evolve as U.S. economic influence adjusts to a changing international landscape.

The Role of Media in National Security
2025-09-16 17:00 - 18:00 (America/New_York) | The Institute of World Politics, 1521 16th Street Northwest, Washington, DC, 20036, United States
With media’s role being to provide transparency to the public, how can that be balanced with the opposed tenets of national security?

About the Lecture:
Exploring the role of media in national security and how coverage can both positively and negatively impact the public’s perception of the work performed. In a world where transparency equals trust, the lecture will examine how to navigate the seemingly opposed priorities of transparency and national security.

About the Speaker:
Jenny Burke is a professional communicator with a career spanning national security, border security, public safety, and technology for more than 25 years. For the last 19 years, she has worked in public affairs across the Department of Homeland Security.
With a background in technology communications in the private sector, Ms. Burke was recruited by the newly established Department of Homeland Security in 2006 to help the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office – currently the Office of Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction – establish its communications office. This work led directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection as the agency deployed radiation detection monitors to ports of entry across the country.
Ms. Burke spent ten years at CBP working with national security, technology, trade, and travel topics. She became the agency’s first-ever press secretary in 2014 working directly for the Commissioner with high-profile topics such as use of force and the unaccompanied child migration crisis.
In the years following CBP, Ms. Burke worked with several components with DHS. She ran the public affairs office at the DHS headquarters during the transition between the Obama and Trump administrations in 2017. She served the Federal Emergency Management Agency as press secretary in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria. She also served as the press secretary for the Transportation Security Administration and at US Immigration and Customs Enforcement where she was also the senior career official in the Office of Public Affairs.
