On August 17, at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in California, I will unveil my comprehensive foreign policy vision, including on Russia, China, Taiwan, India, and other Asian nations: shifting from “liberal hegemony” to the Modern Monroe Doctrine. We will support freezing the current lines of control, reopening economic relations with Russia, & a hard commitment that NATO will not admit Ukraine in return for Russia exiting its military partnership with China, removing nuclear weapons from Kaliningrad, and ending its military presence in the Western Hemisphere — a reverse maneuver of what Nixon accomplished with Mao in 1972. We will further deter China from annexing Taiwan by shifting from strategic ambiguity to strategic clarity: we will defend until 2029 but not afterward, at which point we will have full semiconductor independence from Taiwan, significantly reduced economic independence on China, stronger relationships with India, Japan, and South Korea, and stronger U.S. homeland defense capabilities to protect against cyber, super-EMP, and nuclear attacks. In the meantime, we will have absolutely *zero* tolerance for any breaches of our homeland or aggression in the Western Hemisphere, including Chinese spy balloons, Chinese spy bases in Cuba, intentional fentanyl poisoning, biological lab leaks, illegal border crossings, or any other encroachments of the U.S. homeland — and will make adversaries pay full-on hell if they do. This is the way: I will lead our nation forward from “neoconservatism” & “liberal hegemony” toward a secure homeland that protects the tangible interests of its citizens.
