(ABC News) – Summing up his foreign policy in three words, “peace through strength,” Donald Trump today called on Congress to end the cuts to military spending.
“As soon as I take office, I will ask Congress to fully eliminate the defense sequester and will submit a new budget to rebuild our military,” Trump told the Union League of Philadelphia in a speech focused on U.S. military readiness. “It is so depleted. We will rebuild our military.”
