  Incoming Truman President and CEO

Jenna Ben-Yehuda
This month, the governing boards of Truman Center for National Policy and Truman National Security Project announced Jenna Ben-Yehuda as the incoming Truman President and CEO. Her career draws from the core values of Truman members, with experience in national security, grassroots organizing and advocacy, and private sector management. Ben-Yehuda served for 12 years at the State Department, where she also worked closely with the Defense Department and intelligence community. After leaving government, she founded and led the Women’s Foreign Policy Network. She also brings significant experience from the private sector in building a successful consulting practice. Ben-Yehuda shares Truman’s commitment to political and electoral impact now and in the future, and she brings tremendous
 passion, experience, and vision to lead the community into its next phase. She will officially step into the role on 18 March 2019.

 National Security Bootcamp
On Friday, 22 February, Truman co-hosted a national security bootcamp with National Security Action and Center for American Progress for around 20 Hill staffers. 

The bootcamp focused on top national security policy messaging and strategy. Truman members from various Hill offices presented, advising fellow staffers on Congress&rsquo; legislative and oversight role on current national security and foreign policy concerns. Speakers gave a brief overview of relevant legislation like the Authorization for the Use of Military Force (AUMF) and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), covering the legislations&rsquo; importance and impact; they also discussed how congressional staffers can uphold democratic values as they work on national security. Other discussion topics included fighting corruption, promoting human rights, and deterring foreign interference, and participants explored case studies like Venezuela, Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea.
 Action Against the &ldquo;National Emergency&rdquo;
On 15 February, President Trump declared a national emergency along the U.S.-Mexico border. 

Immediately, Truman responded, including by releasing a

said , &ldquo;This declaration is a massive abuse of presidential power for personal political gain, and Democrats and Republicans in Congress must act. Any leader who takes border security, fiscal responsibility, or the U.S. Constitution seriously cannot let this stand.&rdquo; Garrison also

Why Do Extremist Groups Thrive in Africa? , by Muhammad Fraser-Rahim, Truman Security Fellow

With the United States aiding our partners on the ground in Africa, potential threats emanating from overseas will become contained--thereby diminishing the possibility of those threats reaching the U.S. homeland while also increasing the capacity of our allies on the African continent.

The Huawei threat is real. Congress should act accordingly , by Bishop Garrison, Truman Project Interim Executive Director

By exercising real oversight in this merger process, Congress has the opportunity now to ensure that Huawei becomes less ubiquitous, not more, and to keep the future of America&rsquo;s next generation wireless network safe and secure from malign influence.

 The Silver Lining: Women are Setting a Bold Feminist Agenda at Home and Abroad , by Cynthia Romero, Truman Political Partner

Where there is threat, there can also be opportunity. From the Women&rsquo;s March to the #MeToo movement to the March for Our Lives, women have mobilized and fueled a resistance to the Trump Administration that has propelled progress and held politicians accountable on a wide range of policies beyond cornerstone &ldquo;feminist&rdquo; issues.

Is Time Up for Zarif? , by Ariane Tabatabai, Truman Security Fellow

Although the effects of his departure will likely be felt most acutely in Brussels and key European capitals, Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif&rsquo;s resignation may have a deeper impact in Tehran, as it hands one of the first major victories following America&rsquo;s withdrawal from the JCPOA to the Iranian hard-liners.
