Pence hails 'remarkable, extraordinary' Trump tenure in attack on US allies

“America is stronger than ever before and America is leading on the world stage once again,” Pence told officials at the Munich Security Conference, listing what he described as US foreign policy successes from Afghanistan to North Korea.

Addressing an audience that included Trump’s daughter Ivanka, Pence’s speech was the latest attempt by a Trump official to put the president’s “America First” agenda into a coherent policy plan.

European leaders are troubled by Trump’s rhetoric, which they say is erratic and disruptive, citing his decision to pull out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal as undermining an arms control agreement that prevented Tehran from developing a nuclear bomb.

Speaking before Pence, German chancellor Angela Merkel questioned whether the US decision to leave the Iran nuclear deal and withdraw from Syria was the best way to tackle Tehran in the region.

Was talking with family in Europe and that’s all people are talking about - what a liar Trump is and then wondering just how bad the photos must be that Putin has on both Trump and Pence.

That Pence looks at Trump so dreamy and that he sings his praises is funny and sad all at the same time.
