We’re giving you the heads up now because tickets for this event will surely sell out fast.

The Wausau-based Wisconsin Institute for Public Policy is featuring speaker John Bolton, the former national security adviser to President Trump and ambassador to the United Nations under George W. Bush. He speaks on “Populism, National Security and U.S. Foreign Policy in Uncertain Times.” on Monday, April 6 at 7 pm, at the UWSP-Wausau campus.

A long-time conservative, Bolton has served as a political consultant, media commentator, diplomat, and recently emerged as a key figure in the impeachment proceedings of President Trump.

“Whether you appreciate John Bolton’s worldview or not, he has been a highly influential diplomat and representative of the United States,” said Eric Giordano, WIPPS executive director. “We have a lot to learn from experienced leaders, especially in this time of great change and uncertainty surrounding U.S. foreign policy.”
