Chokepoints tells the epic story of how America turned the world economy into a weapon, upending decades of globalization to confront a new authoritarian axis—Russia, China, and Iran. In conversation with CGEP Founding Director Jason Bordoff, Fishman will discuss how control over economic chokepoints—such as the U.S. dollar, advanced microchip technology, and critical energy supply chains—has become the key to geopolitical power in the 21st century. Fishman and Bordoff will explore the evolution of U.S. sanctions, export controls, and tariffs over recent decades, and how the new Trump administration is likely to use these tools in the years ahead. This is the first event of Fishman’s book tour and will include a moderated discussion and audience Q&A followed by a book signing.
This event is open to the public and will be hosted in person in New York City.

President Donald Trump has made energy a clear focus for his second term in the White House. Having campaigned on an “America First” platform that highlighted domestic fossil-fuel growth, the reversal of climate policies and clean energy incentives advanced by the Biden administration, and substantial tariffs on key US trading partners, he declared an “energy emergency” on his first day in office.
