Sam Rankin on Foreign Policy 2000 Reform Challenger for Senate (MT)

Actively engage and assist European nations through NATO

A strong and correct foreign policy depends on a blend of good and clear goals in defense, global trade and in defining our national interest.
1. We must maintain and keep ahead in programs and products beneficial to U.S. militarily, i.e. armaments and personnel.
2. I support our alliance with Israel and steps to bring a lasting peace to that region; and believe that Palestinians need to have a stronger role in peace negotiations.
3. We must actively engage and assist, when appropriate, European nations through NATO.
4. We must have an ongoing dialogue with Russia and China regarding nuclear proliferation as we need them in support of sanctions against Iran for its failure to ratify the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
