WASHINGTON, DC - About a year after leaving his post as National Security Adviser to President Barack Obama, Gen. (Ret.) James Jones was tapped to lead a U.S. business trade group focused on increasing ties with Iraqi Kurdistan.
The United States-Kurdistan Business Council (USKBC) officially launched in April 2012. Jones has become a strong proponent of "energy security" as a strategic U.S. foreign policy objective, having served in positions at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and now the Bi-Partisan Policy Center.
