# Public Opinion & U.S. Foreign Policy 

**Show** **Description**

The renewed debate in Washington over U.S. foreign policy reflects changing attitudes in public opinion. George Mason University professor and Cato Senior Fellow A. Trevor Thrall discusses how generational differences are changing views on U.S. military activism and America’s global role. Millennials and younger people generally support international engagement while rejecting excessive military intervention.
