Issue Position: Foreign Affairs

Issue Position

The world is interconnected like never before, and U.S. foreign policy must reflect the needs of this interdependence.

Our foreign policy should encourage economic and democratic growth and protect national security. While maintaining our sovereignty, the U.S. supports the efforts of international organizations in peacekeeping and crisis management.

As a partner for peace, the U.S. can assist in negotiations in the troubled regions of the Middle East, Africa, and elsewhere. Northern Ohio has a proud immigrant tradition that has enriched our community with diverse and worldly citizens.

We have "sister cities" spanning the globe and have welcomed exchange students from many countries. Our region reaches out to others to strengthen our international partnerships.
