Foreign Policy

Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, United States foreign policy has evolved to meet both the increasing global terrorist threat and the need for increased communication and cooperation with allies. A strong international United States presence increases our security at home, while promoting the tenants of freedom and democracy to people around the globe. As the leader in the international community, the United States is inextricably tied to our allies through trade, joint efforts in the War on Terror, and outreach to those less fortunate.
 
I believe it is important to continue efforts in foreign assistance and participation in multilateral organizations, through which the United States defends our nation and way of life, promotes economic growth, fosters stability among nations, and encourages the development of representative governments. Additionally, I believe through principled engagement with all nations, the United States creates opportunities to address current threats and their root causes, thereby improving our security and prosperity.
 
Clearly, our nation faces a new kind of threat in the War on Terror. The oceans no longer protect us. We know that terrorists continue to plan attacks against the United States and other civilized societies. While I believe we ultimately will prevail over this enemy, we must be prepared to be engaged in this struggle for some time to come. It will be a difficult struggle, but I believe that through a strong foreign policy and firm commitment to the basic rights of all people, we will overcome those that use violence and intimidation to threaten our way of life.
