Trump criticized the president for his “apology tour” at the beginning of his tenure, in which he called the United States “arrogant” and “dismissive”.

A senior Trump adviser previewing the speech said the GOP presidential nominee will warn of “the reality we’re headed for if we don’t change our policies”. The Republican presidential nominee’s remarks come just months after he sent alarm bells ringing in Europe after he branded the Western military alliance “obsolete” and raised questions about automatically defending North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies if they are attacked. She kept up that argument Monday as she campaigned alongside Vice President Joe Biden in Scranton, Pennsylvania, a working class area where both have family ties. In his address, Trump laid out his foreign policy vision for America.
Trump recently accused President Obama of being the founder of ISIS.
“The threat to their life has gone up a couple clicks”, Biden said. Trump said that his administration’s main foreign policy goal would be to “halt the spread of radical Islam”.
Over the course of the almost 50-minute address, delivered in Youngstown, Ohio, Trump spent more time focused on the past and attacking the Obama administration and his Democratic opponent, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, than he did on proposing new ideas. He wants to exclude anyone who sympathizes with terrorist groups, anyone with hostile attitudes towards the USA and anyone who believes in Sharia law.
The Republican presidential nominee has announced he believes the fight is an ideological one, comparing it to that of the Cold War.
But Perdue maintained his support for Trump over Democrat Hillary Clinton, saying he approached the decision like he would when he was a Fortune 500 executive. The U.S. would stop issuing visas in any case where it can not perform adequate screenings. Harry Reid has his way, Republican nominee Donald Trump would have to answer questions like these by taking the test required of anyone wishing to become a naturalized USA citizen. Nor did the campaign say whether additional screenings would apply to the millions of tourists who spend billions of dollars visiting the United States each year.
The speech was also rife with inconsistencies about Trump’s own positions on issues ranging from pulling troops out of Iraq to intervening in Libya.
He said that as president, he would call on the State Department and the Department of Homeland Security “to identify a list of regions where adequate screening can not take place”.
In a speech in OH, the candidate outlined his plans to combat Islamic extremism, including a new screening test for arrivals to the US. Trump said the current flows of immigrants and refugees into the country are too large to permit adequate screening, and said if elected, he would reduce those numbers.
He said that under his presidency, the State Department and Homeland Security Department would create a list of blacklisted regions for travel to the US.
Trump said that as president he would call an global conference of nations dedicated to combating groups that commit terrorism in the name of Islam.

“If the disgusting and corrupt media covered me honestly and didn’t put false meaning into the words I say, I would be beating Hillary by 20 percent”, he tweeted Sunday.
