Feulner\u2019s talk covered contemporary U.S. foreign relations as well as his role in the first year of Trump\u2019s administration, which embraced nearly two-thirds of the policy recommendations from his foundations\u2019 \u201cMandate for Leadership\u201d publications.<\/p><p>The third lecture of the week was on Thursday, from Jim Thompson, founder and chairman of The Crown Group, headquartered in Hong Kong and boasting over US$800,000 in annual revenue and operations in over 60 countries.
