Donald Trump Announces 5 Foreign Policy Advisers
Monday, Donald Trump said he would advocate a non-interventionist approach to world affairs that would reject “nation-building” if he wins the White House.
In an interview with the W-P editorial board Monday, when he named 5 of his picks for a foreign policy advisory team, Donald Trump said the United States has to look inward.
“I do think it’s a different world today, and I don’t think we should be nation-building anymore,” Trump told the Post.
“I think it’s proven not to work, and we have a different country than we did then. We have $19-T in debt. We are sitting, probably, on a bubble. And it’s a bubble that if it breaks, it’s going to be very nasty. I just think we have to rebuild our country.”
Donald Trump’s partial list of his foreign policy advisory team are a mix of private US military intelligence, energy, and defense experts, the panel will be headed by Senator Jeff Sessions (AL-R).
“And I have quite a few more,” he said. “But that is a group of some of the people that we are dealing with. We have many other people in different aspects of what we do. But that’s pretty representative group.”
The 5 named are:
- US Army Lt. Gen. Keith Kellogg (Ret.) currently the E-VP at Virginia-based CACI International, an intelligence and information technology consulting firm, Gen. Kellogg worked as chief operating officer for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad following the invasion of Iraq.
- Joe Schmitz, a former IG (Inspector General) at the Department of Defense in George W. Bush’s administration.
- Walid Phares, Mr. Phares has taught at the National Defense University and Daniel Morgan Academy in Washington, has advised members of Congress, and has appeared as a analyst on terrorism and the Middle East.
- Carter Page, a graduate of the United States Naval Academy who rose through the ranks at Merrill Lynch and now is managing partner of Global Energy Capital, previously he was a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, where he focused on the Caspian Sea region and the economic development in former Soviet states.
- George Papadopoulos, director of an international energy center at the London Centre of International Law Practice, he previously advised the Presidential campaign of Dr. Ben Carson and worked as a research fellow at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank in Washington.
