Karin Housley on War & Peace |
Smith: No. Says withdrawal doesn't reduce Iran's "threat the region & US national security interests"--& makes Iran more likely to develop a nuclear weapon.
Housley: Yes. Says "I applaud President Trump's decision to pull the United States out of the Iran nuclear deal & reimpose sanctions on the country."
Housley said she is in favor of maintaining a strong pipeline of funding for military initiatives. "Making sure that those who fight for our freedom have the tools to fight for our freedom, I think military spending is extremely important," Housley said. "I know Tina Smith would want to decrease our military spending."
In terms of foreign military policy, Housley praised Trump and said she supports his policies emphasizing national defense and prioritizing of American interests abroad--especially in comparison to former President Barack Obama, but also former President George W. Bush.
