Episode 10 - Tom Wright

Professor John Crown’s guest on this podcast is a proud Irishman, who has the distinction of having worked in the White House as part of the Biden Administration.

Tom Wright is a senior fellow with the Brookings Institution and a writer with The Atlantic. He served as special assistant to president Joe Biden and senior director for strategic planning at the National Security Council.

In this wide-ranging interview we hear Tom’s thoughts on the war in Iran, China, Tarrifs (including the Smoot Hawley act of 1930), Joe Biden’s one term presidency and whether Ireland should join NATO.
