Vice President Kamala Harris’s foreign policy instincts are “not only confusing but dangerous,” senior Trump administration officials told the Washington Reporter, adding that Harris’s foreign policy track record suggests recklessness and ignorance.
Ric Grenell, who served in a series of high-ranking foreign policy roles in Trump’s administration, told the Reporter that “Kamala Harris doesn’t know what she’s for and what she’s against.” Harris’s shifting stance on Israel is an example of her inconsistent record, he said. “She says she will follow Joe Biden’s war plans but then says she will tell Israel to stop. The messages are not only confusing but dangerous,” Grenell said.
Grenell, a potential Secretary of State in a second Trump administration, has been meeting with Arab and Muslim voters across the country, with a special emphasis on communities in Michigan. The Mayor of Hamtramck, Michigan, the first Muslim-majority city in America, recently endorsed Trump, calling him “the right choice for this critical time.”
Although much of the presidential election has focused on domestic policies, Trump and his allies have leveraged high-profile foreign policy failures abroad to argue that Harris has never been up for the top job.
“From day one, the Biden-Harris administration has cozied up to Iran and put pressure on Israel. The reverse should be the case. Let’s not forget that Tehran and its terrorist proxies started this conflict,” Jeremy Hunt, the Chairman of Veterans On Duty, a national security-focused nonprofit, told the Reporter. “It’s past time that the White House stops enabling our adversaries around the world and starts fully backing our allies.”
