White House Strategic Diplomacy Council (The More Things Changed)

The White House Strategic Diplomacy Council (SDC) is the principal forum used by the President of the United States for consideration of diplomatic efforts to "counter foreign aggression through innovation and strategy." The SDC is chiefly concerned with relations between the United States and the Russian Federation in what Robert Legvold, Vice Chair of the Council and National Coordinator for Strategic Diplomacy, has termed a "new Cold War." It was established on May 11th, 2018.
