The next president needs to know foreign policy and not learn it on the job.

George Bush has shown great skill at disguising an incredibly weak foreign policy.

The problem with the U.S. foreign policy is that we're just so unbelievably powerful. And when you've got that kind of power, it's very hard not to use it.

Foreign policy is like human relations, only people know less about each other.

The lesson of the last year is this: foreign policy can't be managed through the politics of personality, and our President would do well to take note of an observation John F. Kennedy made once he was in office - that all of the world's problems aren't his predecessor's fault.

Trump has the opportunity to be the president who, like Harry Truman, redirected U.S. foreign policy for a generation.

Bush promised a foreign policy of humility and a domestic policy of compassion. He has given us a foreign policy of arrogance and a domestic policy that is cynical, myopic and cruel.

Foreign policy is all about a universe of bad decisions, imperfect decisions; every situation is different. The dynamics, the atmospherics, the people, the pressures, the geopolitical realities shift.

I don't often think of Donald Trump, but his daughter is very smart. She's a woman working in real estate, which is predominantly men, and she's both savvy and articulate about her business and her business acumen.

My view of foreign policy is that we need to be careful and circumspect about United States intervention in any foreign nation.
