                Trump Calls for New US Foreign Policy Direction

   by VOA News

   U.S. Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump is calling for
   "a new foreign policy direction" for the country, calling the policies
   of President Barack Obama "a complete and total disaster."

   "It's time to shake the rust off America's foreign policy, it's time to
   invite new voices and new visions into the fold--something we have to
   do," Trump said in foreign policy speech in Washington Wednesday.

   He criticized the current administration's decisions on Iraq, Egypt and
   Syria, saying "each of these actions have helped to throw the region
   into chaos" and give Islamic State "the space it needs to grow and
   prosper."

   "It all began with the dangerous idea that we could make western
   democracies out of countries that had no experience or interest in
   becoming a western democracy," Trump said. "We tore up what
   institutions they had and then we were surprise at what we had
   unleashed--civil war, religious fanaticism, thousands of Americans just
   killed, lives, lives, lives wasted, horribly wasted."

   Trump added five more primary wins Tuesday, sweeping a set of
   northeastern states to move closer to clinching his party's nomination
   for president. Trump won easily in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland,
   Pennsylvania and Rhode Island with more than 55 percent of the vote in
   each state.
