Issue Position: What Will Guide Marco's Foreign Policy?

Issue Position

American strength is a means of preventing war, not promoting it. Weakness, on the other hand, is the friend of danger and the enemy of peace. Since the end of the Cold War, the threats facing America have changed, but the need for American strength has not. It has only grown more pressing as the world has grown more interconnected. Today, as never before, foreign policy is domestic policy.

It is up to our next president to right the wrongs done by our current one. It is up to our next president to properly fund and modernize our military. It is up to our next president to restore our people's faith in the promise and power of the American ideal.

Three Pillars of the Rubio Doctrine:

American Strength
* Undo the damage caused by sequestration by returning to Secretary Gates' fiscal year 2012 budget baseline.
* Modernize our forces to remain on the cutting edge of the land, sea, air, cyberspace, and outer space domains.
* Empower our intelligence community by permanently extending Section 215 of the Patriot Act.

American Prosperity
* Complete the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and Trans-Atlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
* Oppose any violations of international waters, airspace, cyberspace, or outer space.

American Values
* Demand that China allow true freedom for its 1.3 billion people.
* Call the source of atrocities in the Middle East by its real name: radical Islam.
