Putin: Renegotiating The End of the Cold War

A Luncheon Discussion Featuring:

– Clyde Tuggle, senior vice president and chief public affairs and communication officer, The Coca-Cola Company

The Cold War ended with a burst of U.S.-Russia goodwill. But President Putin rewrites the terms of the end of the Cold War with interventions in Crimea, Ukraine and Syria. International economics sanctions hamper the Russian economy, but not enough to disrupt Putin’s ability to play a bad hand well in 2016. The U.S. Intelligence Community has concluded that Russia interfered in the U.S. presidential election while the incoming Trump Administration looks to change the U.S.-Russia relationship from enmity to cooperation despite such findings. What does each country expect of the other? What are the Russian president’s ultimate goals?
