The Washington Examiner quotes Nonresident Senior Fellow Richard LeBaron on the White House Countering Violent Extremism Summit:
The Atlantic Council’s Richard LeBaron served as U.S. ambassador to Kuwait from 2007 to 2010 and helped set up the Center for Strategic Counterterrorism Communications in 2010.
Originally, LeBaron said the goal of the conference was to “reinforce international will to take on the difficult issues posed by radicalization.”
