Mike Pence Warns Donald Trump Is Embracing Isolationism Over American Leadership

Former Vice President Mike Pence in a foreign policy speech at the Hudson Institute in Washington, D.C. says that some Republicans, including former President Donald Trump, are "abandoning the traditional conservative position of American leadership on the world stage and embracing a new and dangerous form of isolationism." He goes on to say that "isolationism is just another word for appeasement" and that "appeasement never works." He warns that the new "appeasement Republicans" want America to turn inward away from its traditional leadership role on the world stage and focus on domestic concerns. He rejects that view, saying that America can do both. close
