2020 DE Senatorial race: on Foreign Policy


Chris Coons: We need NATO more engaged in the Middle East

What made the Iran deal possible was getting most of the world aligned with the United States in putting sanctions pressure on Iran. That's what got them to the table. Now, we're in a place where, although President Trump, and I appreciate his saying this, is saying, here's a moment for diplomacy. We need NATO more engaged in the Middle East. We need our partners in Europe. Lots of other actions and steps he's taken have weakened and strained those alliances and those partnerships.

Chris Coons: Led bipartisan opposition to China's election interference

A bipartisan group of 12 senators has written a letter to senior Trump administration officials, urging them to craft a "comprehensive strategy" to counter covert Chinese interference in democracies around the world. Led by Cortez Masto, the lawmakers outlined the growing threat that Chinese Communist Party activities pose to independent democratic institutions.

Democratic heavyweight Elizabeth Warren is a signatory to the letter, as is Chris Coons (D-DE) and Republican centrist Cory Gardner. The letter's wide spectrum of support suggests that, unlike the investigation into Russian meddling, future attempts to uncover Chinese actions in the United States may have a bipartisan character.
