Foreign policy always has more force and punch when the nation speaks with one voice. To remain secure, prosperous, and free, the United States must continue to lead.

I believe on foreign policy that there is little difference between the Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

The left, led by the news media, has been telling us practically from the day that Donald Trump announced his candidacy that he would be a complete disaster, particularly in foreign affairs and foreign relations around the world, and even more particularly in the Middle East.

I would recommend any American who wants to understand where the government is going in the next four years of George W.
