Trump's new foreign policy: 'We will stop looking to topple regimes' | Washington Examiner

Trump's new foreign policy: 'We will stop looking to topple regimes' | Washington Examiner: President-elect Trump announced a libertarian-like foreign policy at his first "thank you" rally in Cincinnati on Thursday night.

While sharing core components of the tasks he will have his administration focus on, Trump rolled out new directions for the State and Defense Departments.

"We will destroy ISIS. At the same time, we will pursue a new foreign policy that finally learns from the mistakes of the past. We will stop looking to topple regimes and overthrow governments, folks," Trump told attendees at the U.S. Bank Arena. "Our goal is stability, not chaos because we wanna rebuild our country. It's time."

Trump said throughout the campaign season that he opposed the Iraq War and lambasted Hillary Clinton for supporting the decision to send troops to the Middle East.
