Spoke on the Senate floor ahead of President Trump's trip to Brussels for NATO summit, and his meeting with Russian President Putin: facebook.com/SenatorDurbin/…
I posed a simple question to my Republican colleagues: What has happened to the party of Ronald Reagan when it comes to national security matters today?
I continue to be deeply concerned about the current course of American foreign policy under this President. He's willing to undermine allies and instead cozy up to adversaries like Russia and North Korea.
I do not know of any modern president who let normal disagreements between key allies turn into personal spats that alienate our friends and undermine our security.
In fact, I am increasingly convinced that President Trump is so enamored by validation-seeking autocrats and offended by allies expressing disagreements that he is incapable of distinguishing friends from enemies.
