The only foreign policy advice I heard from China was when they said to Sudan, ‘Don’t go back to war.’ That’s all they said. They didn’t push anything else.
I think all that we would know of America back home is foreign policy, and maybe the snippets of the madness of political culture.

The problem with the U.S. foreign policy is that we’re just so unbelievably powerful. And when you’ve got that kind of power, it’s very hard not to use it.

I think that it’s always appropriate for Americans and for American foreign policy to make clear why we feel that self-government is most compatible with peace, the well-being of people, and human dignity.

The Democrats just don’t have a foreign policy that they’re willing to defend, that they’re willing to use to take down the president’s. We’re dealing with the power of suggestion here.

We have to return to a foreign policy of restraint, one that develops our capabilities and our potential in communities across America, and not become bogged down in unwinnable conflicts that lead to greater resentment of the United States, and that don’t advance American interests.

I’m not much of an economic conservative, and I’m not conservative at all on foreign policy.

As far as Gary Johnson is concerned, he is not a credible person on foreign policy. We need somebody like that. He doesn’t understand religious liberty. I have some other concerns about his suitability and reliability in, you know, for the presidency. I just don’t think he’s a credible option.
So in terms of the global economic footprint, let’s just say China within the next decade and a bit is likely to emerge as the world’s largest economy. Obviously its foreign policy and security policy footprint increases and that creates both challenges and opportunities for us all.
