Ben Cardin's Candid Interview with The New Yorker

"I'm Not a Hawk": Cardin on Foreign Policy and Human Rights

Senator Ben Cardin, the head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, recently sat down for an interview with Isaac Chotiner of The New Yorker. In the interview, Cardin discussed a range of topics, including his views on U.S. foreign policy and human rights.

Cardin, a Democrat from Maryland, has been a strong advocate for human rights throughout his career. He helped to sponsor the 2012 Magnitsky Act, which imposes sanctions on Russian officials responsible for the death of Sergei Magnitsky, a Russian lawyer who was killed in prison after exposing corruption in the Russian government.
