On Monday, Donald Trump laid out his vision for America’s foreign policy, slamming President Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for decisions they made that he claims created the conditions which allowed radical Islamic terrorists to thrive.
Trump’s senior policy adviser Stephen Miller stated, “As he laid out in his Orlando remarks, Mr. Trump will describe the need to temporarily suspend visa issuances to geographic regions with a history of exporting terrorism and where adequate checks and background vetting can not occur”.
Trump, invoking the ideological fight between the USA and Soviet Union in the Cold War, said the “extreme” security measures would include requiring immigrants seeking entry to the U.S.to first take an ideological test.
Donald Trump called Monday for “extreme vetting” of immigrants seeking admission to the United States, vowing to block those who sympathize with extremist groups or don’t embrace American values. “In the Cold War, we had an ideological screening test”.
‘The time is overdue to develop a new screening test for the threats we face today.
He hopes Trump can follow through on his proposed policies.
Trump claims that many recent terrorist attacks in the USA have been carried out by immigrants or the children of immigrants.
Trump running mate Mike Pence, who also spoke, said the real estate mogul offers “a new vision for a new time”. Russian Federation warned USA intelligence agencies about Tamerlan Tsarnaev and yet he still fell through the cracks and Boston paid the price.
NATO is a military alliance of European and North American democracies founded after World War II to strengthen global ties between member states, especially the United States and Europe, to serve as a counter-balance to the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. He also pledged to keep open Guantanamo Bay, with a renewed emphasis on human intelligence, and said Drone strikes will remain part of the U.S strategy, although it will also seek to capture high-value targets to gain needed information to dismantle their organizations.
“I had previously said that North Atlantic Treaty Organisation was obsolete because it failed to deal adequately with terrorism”, Trump said.
Trump, for example, is on record supporting the war in Iraq, the ouster of the Mubarak government in Egypt, and the USA military offensive in Libya.
Mr Trump says destroying IS would be the centrepiece of his foreign policy and he would partner with any countries that share that goal. He also declared that, if were elected president, “the era of nation-building will be brought to a swift and decisive end”. “We cannot always choose our friends, but we can never fail to recognise our enemies”. In its place would be what he called a new approach, which he described simply as halting the spread of “radical Islam”.
And despite saying in his Monday speech that Libya was “stable” before the USA intervention, he advocated deposing Libyan Prime Minister Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. Trump also promoted the idea of joining with Russian Federation in our fight against the Islamic State.
Trump said he believes the USA and Russian Federation could find “common ground” in the fight against the Islamic State. “Foreign combatants will be tried in military commissions”, Trump said. He said attacks involving “immigrants or the children of immigrants” underscore the need to implement “extreme vetting”. We will work side-by-side with our friends in the Middle East, including our greatest ally, Israel.

Who would be subject to the immigration ban? He went so far as to accuse Obama of being the “founder of ISIS” during a rally in Florida last week, though he later said it was a sarcastic remark. John McCain (R-Ariz.) support closing.
