Stop pattern of negotiating away American leverage
We must advance a foreign policy that protects the strength of the United States of America, and ends the pattern of this Administration negotiating away our leverage.
We must stand by our allies who fight with us against terrorist cells around the globe, and allies like Israel who advance stability and freedom in increasingly unstable regions.
