The interview was posted on the Washington Post website. Here is a little bit of donald trump talking about the role of nato and the role of the u. S. And the world. Trump i see nato is a good think to have. I look at the ukraine situation and i say, so ukraine is a country that affects is far less than it affects other countries in nato and yet, we are doing all of the lifting. They are not doing anything. And i say, why is it that germany is not dealing with nato on ukraine . Countriesthat other that are in the vicinity of the ukraine, why are they doing anything . Why are we always the ones leading. Post that is audio from that video. The Washington Post writes about the foreignpolicy outlook of donald trump saying it this way. The views trump laid out monday echoed the sentiments of a more nor to faction of a minority faction. Stems in part from experience in iraq, which trump has consistently described as a major foreignpolicy blunder. They are heightened by his focus on what he sees as the damaging effects of International Trade on the financial standing and prestige of the United States. Specifically when it comes to the role of foreignpolicy, what do they advocate . Do you agree or disagree with that. If you want to let us know, 2027488000 for democrats. Four republicans. And for independence, 2027488002. Donald trump also release names of foreignpolicy advisers. They include counterterrorism Longtime Energy dopoulos,t george papa schmitz, retired general keith kellogg, and quite a few more. Lets start with grace this morning from indiana. Good morning, thanks for calling. Who is your candidate and what views do they hold on foreignpolicy . Caller Hillary Clinton is going to be my person and i have knowsing i i think she how to get along with people. Here is my problem. Im closer to 100 then i would like to be. I watched the rise and fall of adolf hitler. That look at all of the Republican Party wants the American People to do stuff with him. Donald trump once the party to side with him. Host back to Hillary Clinton for a second. As far as foreignpolicy, what do you like of hers . You said she likes to get along with other countries, but what do you mean by that . Caller she knows how to get along with them. She knows how to she can read them. Donald is doing his thing. He is going to tell them what to do. She is going to try and get along with them. He is going to dictate to them like adolf hitler did nine times. Host john from South Carolina, republican line. Your candidate and their foreignpolicy view . Caller yes, sir. I am supporting ted cruz. Unfortunately, your previous color is to clarify that Hillary Clintons foreignpolicy capitulation and basically, taking care of her and bill on the foundation through every means possible. But ted cruz understands that the world is neither place. The United States, we see what happens in the middle east and when it comes to isis, also we see one of the world perceives a eak president. We also see what happens when the world perceives a weak administration and the pacific area with the south china sea. Ted cruz, he has got enough knowledge of what is going on in of the world and our domestic the strength of america to where we are cooperating with our allies and a strengthening our allies, instead of apologizing to the United States and capitulating to regimes like iran. So, but your previous caller neglects to look at the last, she says with donald trump. She is 100 years old. I would recommend she brushes up on her history, even though she has lived it. The radical marxist socialists have been trying to destroy this country for 100 years. They finally achieved it by giving the educational system. Now, what we have is not an educational system. It is an indoctrination will system. Indoctrination system. Host what they do have will not been critical, but none of the candidates have a viable foreignpolicy stance. Go ahead. Caller how are you doing . Host thank you, go ahead. Caller i am a democrat, probably. All of these people are talking about how the United States is so great and so wonderful and th at we can capitulate the other people how they should live their lives. America is great when we allow people to be who they want to be. We cant tell people how to live. They were talking about born again christians, evangelicals. Host ronald, who is your candidate . Caller i am supporting bernie or hillary. Ast as far foreignpolicy, what do you like about Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders . Caller i like hillary because she is experienced. You have to have experience with your world leaders. You can go in there haphazardly. You have to know what you are doing. What is donald trump know about foreignpolicy . He is aaid often that businessman, not a politician. He cant run the nine states like that he cant run the United States like that. Host Hillary Clinton in arizona, leading up to the primaries that will take place. One of the things she spoke about in a rally there was Foreign Policy and the experience she brings, if she were to become president of the united rates. I served as you know, for eight years as a senator from new york during the 9 11 attack. And of course, i served as a secretary of state. [cheers and applause] Hillary Clinton i will tell you, only the hard choices get to the president s desk. Only the hard choices and up in the situation room. If it is easy, it gets made somewhere along that path. But when you are faced with making those tough decisions, like we wear when i was one of these small groups to advise the president about whether or not to go after bin laden [cheers and applause] clinton it takes experience and it takes temperament. And weve got to make sure our next president and commander in chief can fulfill those responsibilities in a responsible way, in a thoughtful way, in a prudent way. And i pledge to you that is exactly what i will do if i am honored enough to be the next president of the United States. Om simiere is terrt fr valley, california. Caller i am going to ask you or i am going to do something that has not happened on cspan. And i see it as a form of prejudice not happening. Nobody is vetting Bernie Sanders. He is getting a free pass. As far as Foreign Policy, he has none. This man is a slick politician. He has been one for 35 years. I am an independent. I am for hillary because she has walked the walk and talked the talk. Anybody can criticize somebody that is in office and trying to do the job, but when you are on the outside looking in and all you do is complain and criticize and you havent been there, it is a different story. This man has gotten away with so much. He has been around for 35 years and the commentator asked him, if you havent done any of these things and 35 years, bernie, how do you expect them t to them now . And he evaded the question. He has no foreignpolicy experience. He talks about her as being beholden to super pacs. You had a panel on cspan of people who were bipartisan discussing what to do about money for campaigns. And he came across very clearly that they believe it was not in bipartisan fashion, that it was not a negative thing to have super pacs giving you money. You were not beholden to them. If she is beholden to them, he is beholden to the nra. And he talks like he is going to do these marvelous things. At the same time, he is discussing his love for castro. And we saw that years ago. And his medicare one payment for all was tried in vermont and a failed because as strategist for the Obama Campaign, they stated very clearly that he is copying the Obama Campaign strategy, but the difference between the two is obamas ideas were doable. Bernies ideas will be dead on arrival. Host i want to keep it to Foreign Policy and what the candidates bring to the table as far as their foreignpolicy positions. The colored did mention president obama in cuba meeting with raul castro. The headline from the New York Times this morning, accompanied by a photo, a new day of open is taxed by old grievances. Leaders traded criticism of each others countries. They both said they were committed to normalizing relations. Give me a list of the Political Prisoners and i will release them immediately, rebel castro aul castro said. Obama said he pressed the president over their meeting and reaffirmed they could meet with some of them on tuesday. He also told mr. Castro that the United States had no intention on dictating their countrys future. Destiny that cubas will not be decided by the United States or any other nation, mr. Obama said. Cuba is sovereign and rightly has great pride and the future of cuba will be decided by the cuban people. How are you . Go ahead. Caller i wanted to talk about who i am not for. I wanted to give specific examples why i think Hillary Clintons foreign policies as secretary of state for a complete disaster and we cannot have this person running our foreignpolicy as president. She was an advocate of regime change, throughout the middle east, which was a complete failure. I ypt, obama then they went ahead with regime change in libya and got rid of goo kadalfi. A bloodbath has taken place in the country. They then had an obsession with assad ansd sryia. Opinion, has, in my kristin genocide christian genocide. Blood onmmeasurable her hands. I do not believe and of course, the email scandal is National Security because she is either completely stupid, or she purposely put in a private email server in her home that our enemies hacked. She is not qualified to run foreignpolicy. Host who are you supporting and what is their foreignpolicy stance . Caller i am supporting donald trump and the reason i am supporting him is donald trump was america first. I support his policy on building a wall. I support his policy on deporting illegal aliens. I support his policy on temporarily banning islamic immigration into this country. I mean, look at what happened this morning with the bombings in belgium. Rb stupid and suicidal . Stupid and suicidal . There is a serious problem within the religion of islam. Of theber one job president is to protect the country and the lives of citizens and Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton have come out and said they have open borders, they will admit syrian refugees. Host joe, you put out a lot of the information. Lets go to west virginia. On the democrats line, ted. Caller very simply, i like the idea that Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have had. The idea that as opposed to cruz, lets not go in with anger and lets not go in and start wars, like George W Bush did twice. This thing barack obama has done so well through all of this is not get us more involved, not get us to the point where we are going to start putting more troops in here and mor eine in there. You said, what my candidate is . Host who your candidate is and the foreignpolicy views they hold and if you agree with them. Caller Bernie Sanders says, everything i have believed in all of my life. The idea that domestically we have to end corruption and get government to work properly. And in foreignpolicy, we have to stop going out and starting in anand taking things irrational way. Take a look at trump. He is already starting the war drums. Take a look at ted cruz. He is saying how big shot he is going to be when he becomes president. If that doesnt scare you, i dont know what you need to be scared of. Host that is ted in west virginia. Ryan this morning on the Washington Post talks about the topic of troops in iraq. The headline says there are more people in iraq than it has been saying. They have many more than previously reported. The Obama Administration quietly expands ground operations against the a Islamic State. The number of american troops in iraq have come under increased scrutiny. Operationsyour u. S. In iraq. Officials of knowledge privately that the total troop number, while it varies day today, stands at 5000, more than 1000 personnel above the official cap. That includes other defense cooperation matters. If the obama missed ration were to classify personnel as permanent, they would be increase the official force level reported in its monthly boots on the ground notification to congress. In marylandrom sue on the independent line. Your candidates Foreign Policy and you agree or disagree with it . Caller my candidate is donald trump. Im going to do something that i have never done in my entire life, register as a republican this afternoon. That is so i can vote for him in the primary because the primaries in maryland are close. I believe in every, single thing trump is saying about our foreignpolicy. In particular, making this thesey so strong that terrorist groups and places like that wouldnt even think to mess with us. I just came back from dropping my son off at the metro station. I am worried and scared until i hear from him because of what happened in brussels. This is the United States of america. We can save the world from tyranny and i have to worry about my son can get to the metro. Why . Because we have weak leaders and weak foreignpolicy. It will get worse under Hillary Clinton. It is already a disaster under obama, who is clearly not qualified. I am going to vote for donald trump and campaign for donald trump and work the polls for donald trump. I want this country to be restored to the great country di it once was. I want my children and grandchildren to live in a country where people be heading will not mess with us anymore. Host we are talking about candidates and their foreignpolicy agenda. The topic of foreignpolicy was brought up along the campaign trail in washington dc. People have been calling us this morning.

Meeting withhad a d. C. Republicans and washington to talk about a variety of things. One of the people talking about it is a reporter. He joins us on the phone now to talk about this meeting. Good morning. What wasttle bit the goal of this meeting. Why was it set up . Wong it was an attempt by donald trump and his team, who like to remind us that he is still very new to politics, to appear more president ial. His team wanted us to see what it would look like for trumps motorcade to be driving to the nations capitol, driving to meetings on capitol hill. He met with the Washington PostEditorial Board before that. After the meeting with lawmakers and some d. C. Establishment folks he held a News Conference at his new Hotel Project on pennsylvania avenue, just blocks from the white house. He later gave a National Security speech. It really was you know, sort of a day when mr. Trump comes to washington and acts the role of president. Host when it comes to the meeting with gop lawmakers, what was the agenda . Scott wong i am not sure there was a specific agenda. It was originally billed as a unity meeting to bring republicans together, but at the tail end of the meeting that was not the message that was being conveyed by some of the participants. It really was a hodgepodge of republicans who were there. There were some people who had previously endorsed him, like senator Jeff Sessions from alabama and Chris Collins of new york. Jim demint was there, the former senator from South Carolina who now runs the Heritage Foundation. They discussed possible Supreme Court nominations and the Heritage Foundation apparently, it will be advising mr. Trump on topics. Sible and then there were some new faces, like Newt Gingrich and his wife. Wea bob livingston, who saw bob livingston, who made the biggest news of the day. He resigned from the house floor back in 1
