The Republican candidate wants to prioritize the Western Hemisphere, but in ways that worry its leaders.
, published after his breakout GOP primary debate performance, the 38-year-old laid out a more comprehensive foreign policy with a striking amount of focus on the Western Hemisphere.
Francisco Santos Calderón, a former Colombian ambassador to the United States, also cast Ramaswamy’s ideas as naïve. But Ramaswamy also promises that during his presidency, “we will grow hemispheric trade to historic levels. We will pursue fair trade deals that will help create good-paying jobs both in the United States and in our neighbor nations, with an eye towards helping us to near-shore our supply chain and move it away from China.”
Ramaswamy campaign spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin, in a statement, described the candidate’s Monroe Doctrine vision as seeking “greater prosperity for the whole hemisphere,” especially involving trade. The Trump and Ramaswamy version of the doctrine is more worried about Russian and Chinese designs on the hemisphere than European plans.
