Foreign Affairs
The United States is the greatest country in the world, and we need to act like it. Our leaders need to project strength on the world stage, because our adversaries like China and Iran become emboldened when we show weakness. We need to hold our enemies accountable for their bad actions and demonstrate our strength and resolve whenever necessary.
We also need to support our allies responsibly. No foreign aid should ever be given without proper auditing and accountability, and not a single penny of taxpayer dollars should be sent to terrorists.
