Trump nation-building view not in line with Bush
Obama discarded that strategy while trying to keep enough USA influence there to prevent those two countries from crumbling.
“My administration will aggressively pursue joint and coalition military operations to crush and destroy ISIS”, Trump said in a speech in Youngstown, Ohio, using an acronym for the Islamic State.
The GOP presidential candidate will argue the country needs to work with anyone that shares that mission, regardless of other disagreements.
The Republican nominee’s foreign policy address comes during a rocky stretch for his campaign.
Trumps’ own policies for combating ISIS and similar extremist groups have remained vague, though this ideological test goes into extensive detail on how he plans prevent potential attackers from stepping on American soil.
TRUMP: “President Obama and Hillary Clinton should have never attempted to build a democracy in Libya, to push for immediate regime change in Syria or to support the overthrow of Mubarak in Egypt”.
The vice president also contended that “no major party nominee in the history of the United States has known less or been less prepared to deal with our national security than Donald Trump”.
Biden’s folksy demeanor and ability to connect with working-class voters is considered an asset for Clinton particularly among blue-collar white male voters who lean toward her Republican rival.
Trump said that if he wins the November elections, he will call for an global conference focused on halting the spread of radical Islam.
“The threat to their life has gone up a couple clicks”, Biden said.
“Overseas, IS has carried out one unthinkable atrocity after another”, Trump said.
“Then it turns out the secret is he has no plan”, she said. “The rise in the Islamic State group’s power is a direct result of political decisions made by President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton”, said he said.
“The fact of the matter is we have very sophisticated vetting programs in place”, she said, noting that the country has invested billions in improving systems and information sharing since the 9/11 attacks.
The real-estate tycoon and former reality TV star promised to end the United States policy of “nation building” and called for a “new approach” in partnership with foreign allies to “halt the spread of radical Islam”.
It may be that his controversial statements over the last month – including an apparent call for Russian Federation to hack U.S. servers to find Clinton’s missing emails, his musings about whether Second Amendment activists could stop her Supreme Court nominees if she were president or claims that Obama “founded” ISIS – have inflicted too much damage already for his message to resonate.
The Republican presidential hopeful delivered a speech in OH in which he laid out a counter-terrorism strategy, attacking the policies of his Democratic opponent Hilary Clinton and U.S. president Barack Obama in the Middle East.
Trump believes America should only accept immigrants who have the same values as Americans. Trump did not clarify how US officials would assess the veracity of responses to the questionnaires or how much manpower it would require to complete such arduous vetting.
His proposals are the latest version of a policy that began with Trump’s unprecedented call to temporarily block Muslims from immigrating to the United States. In his speech Monday in Youngstown (Ohio), he repeated his promise to ” suspend immigration from certain parts of the most unstable and unsafe world, which have export history of terrorism”. Under Trump’s plan, citizens from countries with a history of terror will be banned but it is not clear which nations.
Donald Trump has outlined a new screening process for would-be immigrants created to exclude Islamic extremists that he promoted Monday as “extreme vetting”. Wouldn’t that be a good thing?
Trump is facing an urgent need to counter a Clinton campaign charge that could pose an existential threat to his campaign – the idea that he lacks the knowledge and gravitas to be commander-in-chief – and to quell panic among Republicans who fear he is driving their ticket into the ground.
“He would nearly certainly fail, given his general ignorance and weak grasp of basic facts about American history, principles and functioning of our government”, Reid said.
