Donald Trump delivers major foreign policy speech
by Joseph Earnest April 27, 2016
Newscast Media WASHINGTON,
DC—In a major address today, Republican presidential candidate and GOP
front-runner, Donald J. Trump detailed his views on critical foreign
policy issues, making it abundantly clear that he is committed to
prioritizing America first in national security, international diplomacy
and global trade.
“Today, our foreign policy is a complete and total disaster,” Mr. Trump
said. “There’s no vision, no strategic purpose, no direction, no
consistency.”
In his speech before The National Interest Magazine and its parent
institution, The Center for the National Interest, and invited guests,
the presumptive GOP nominee for President of the United States
articulated five important criticisms of American foreign policy: the
nation’s resources are overextended; many of our allies aren’t paying
their fair share; our friends fear they can’t depend on us; our rivals
no longer respect us – and the country doesn’t have clear foreign policy
goals.
“All of this is going to change when I am President,” he said. “America
is going to be strong again. America is going to be a reliable friend
and ally again.”
As President, he would ensure the defeat of ISIS as a major foreign
policy goal. “I have a simple message for ISIS: Their days are numbered.
I won’t tell them where and I won’t tell them how. We must, as a
nation, be strong and resilient. They’re going to be gone.”
The front-runner also pledged to rebuild America’s military and the
national economy – two vital pillars of a peaceful and secure world. “We
will spend what we need to rebuild our military. Our military dominance
must be unquestioned,” he said. “We are also going to have to change
our trade, immigration and economic policies to make our economy strong
again – and to put Americans first again.”
After criticizing the “reckless, rudderless and aimless foreign policy”
of President Barack Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,
Mr. Trump outlined a more coherent international vision. “Our foreign
policy goals must be based on America’s core national security
interests,” he said. He pledged to defeat radical Islam in the Middle
East and to focus on stability in the region, not nation-building.
Recognizing the differences America has with China and Russia, he also
vowed to “seek common ground based on shared interests.”
“My goal is to establish a foreign policy that will endure for several
generations centered on prioritizing America first. Under a Trump
Administration, no American citizen will ever again feel that their
needs come second to the citizens of foreign countries,” he said.
