PBS News Hour: on Foreign Policy


Steve Bullock: Block foreign influence on elections; end Cuba embargo

Bullock has little foreign policy experience, but he has called for keeping U.S. elections free from foreign influence. Bullock has also advocated for ending the trade embargo with Cuba. He declined to discuss his views on the war in Afghanistan during a visit there in 2013, saying he was in the country to learn about its issues and that his focus as governor was on jobs and economic development in Montana, not international affairs.
