Thomas Perez on Foreign Policy |
PEREZ: We're continuing to confront the threat of foreign terrorism, ISIL and others, we continue to see nations that are having dramatic challenges. And a lot of the same questions are being asked around the world. And I think around the world, the rest of the world is looking to America for leadership. Looking for us to summon those values of inclusion and opportunity and optimism. I look around the world and when I travel internationally in my job, everybody's looking to America for guidance. Everybody says to me, "We admire you as the face of the earth in terms of the values that we should be upholding." I think America is a remarkable leader. And with Secretary Clinton moving forward, the challenges of terrorism, the challenges of global inequality; we've got to make sure that our economy at home and our economy around the world works for everybody and not just for a few.
