On the 100th episode of Today's Battlegrounds, join Dr. Vivian Balakrishnan, Singapore's Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Hoover Senior Fellow, H.R. McMaster, as they discuss how Singapore is charting its own strategy amid great-power competition, the future of the U.S.–Singapore strategic partnership in advancing regional security, and how the United States and its partners can preserve a free and open Indo-Pacific.

Balakrishnan and McMaster also discuss artificial intelligence, energy security, ASEAN's role in promoting regional stability, and the leadership required to navigate geopolitical competition while preserving peace, sovereignty, and international cooperation.
