Related: About this forumWarren: A Foreign Policy for All
From endless wars that strain military families to trade policies that crush our middle class, Washingtons foreign policy today serves the wealthy and well-connected at the expense of everyone else.
For too long, our economic policies have left workers with the short end of the stick. We need to strengthen labor standards and then fight to enforce them. Thats why Elizabeth will oppose Trumps new NAFTA 2.0 unless he produces a better deal for Americas working families. Its time to stop prioritizing corporate profits over American paychecks.
A strong military should act as a deterrent so that most of the time, we wont have to use it. We must continue to be vigilant about the threat of terrorism, but its time to bring our troops home and make sure they get support and benefits theyve earned.
We should also leverage all the tools of our national power, not just our military might. That means cutting our bloated defense budget and ending the stranglehold of defense contractors on our military policy. It means reinvesting in diplomacy and standing with our allies to advance our shared interests. It means new solutions to new global challenges, from cybersecurity to the existential threat posed by climate change.
Our strength abroad is generated here at home. Policies that undermine working families in this country also erode our strength in the world. Its time for a foreign policy that works for all Americans, not just wealthy elites.
