The Trump Administration’s foreign policy is focused on the national security of America, religious freedom, and is “100 percent pro-life,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said during a speech given at The Family Leader Summit held on Friday in West Des Moines, Iowa.
“Our founders built our country on a commitment to essential rights, unalienable rights ... that come from these amazing documents, our Declaration of Independence and our Constitution, and our nation’s foreign policy must be grounded in those central understandings,” Pompeo said.

National Security

National security is “the first duty of any government” as understood by the Founding Fathers and it is also “the highest priority of any Secretary of State, and certainly for President [Donald] Trump as well,” Pompeo said, adding, “I wish some mayors across America knew that too.”
