NASHVILLE – Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Corker, R-Tenn., today offered praise for GOP presidential frontrunner Donald Trump’s foreign policy address with the lawmaker saying he hopes to hear more.
“Today, Donald Trump delivered a very good foreign policy speech in which he laid out his vision for American engagement in the world,” said Corker in a statement. “I look forward to hearing more details, but in a year where angry rhetoric has defined the presidential race on both sides of the aisle, it is my hope that candidates in both parties will begin focusing not only on the problems we face but on solutions.”
