Good morning. Three speakers took turns addressing the room at the Fortune CEO Initiative dinner in Manhattan’s Hudson Yards on Wednesday night. One was Trump’s UN Ambassador, sharing insights on the Administration’s strategy for Iran and the rest of the world. One was a Kennedy scion with a strong message for business about the next generation and leadership in the digital age. And one was a longtime diplomat and State Department official, sounding the alarm about a nation declining in ways we don’t often talk about. Together, their words were a clarion call to business leaders to look at how these trends create a need to step up and speak up.
