Mark Esper & Ian Bremmer Reflect on 25 Years Since 9/11
Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper joins Ian Bremmer on GZERO World to reflect on how 9/11 transformed American politics, national security, and U.S. foreign policy. Together, they examine the lasting consequences of the post-9/11 era and whether the United States has learned from those decisions as it confronts a new period of global instability.
The conversation also turns to the war with Iran and America’s broader strategic priorities. Esper argues that while the United States has achieved tactical successes against Iran, its strategic position has weakened as the conflict’s original objectives have shifted. He also identifies China as America’s most consequential long-term challenge, warning that decades of attention and resources devoted to the Middle East caused the U.S. to lose valuable focus on its primary strategic competitor.
Mark Esper and Ian Bremmer offer audiences distinct but complementary perspectives on national security, geopolitical risk, and America’s role in the world. Their expertise helps leaders make sense of rapidly evolving global challenges and understand their implications for organizations, markets, and society.
