Mitt Romney used his first speech on the Senate floor to offer a defense of alliances abroad and a plea to avoid conspiracy theories
Sen. Mitt Romney used his first speech on the Senate floor to offer a defense of alliances abroad and a plea to avoid divisive conspiracy theories — an indirect rebuke of President Donald Trump who has done neither.
“Alliances are absolutely essential to America’s security, to our future. I can’t state that more plainly,” he said. “Our alliances are invaluable, to us and to the cause of freedom. We should strengthen our alliances, not dismiss or begrudge them. We should enhance our trade with allies, not disrupt it, and coordinate all the more closely our security and defense.”
Romney slammed the Chinese government for cheating other nations on trade and said the nation was becoming the United States’ biggest geopolitical threat.
