“America is once again regaining its footing on the world stage, but we can’t let up. I will push for a foreign policy that defends our sovereignty, strengthens our alliances and confronts threats like Iran, Russia and China. This includes ending the importation of foreign sources of energy, cutting our dependence on Chinese manufacturing for critical goods, stopping the theft of our intellectual property and buying up U.S. farmland.”
