In his speech accepting the Republican nomination for president on Thursday, former President Donald Trump praised his own approach to foreign policy while criticizing previous administrations.
“We will help bring stability to the world. I was the first president in modern times to start no new wars,” Trump said.
Trump spoke on the final night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, an evening focused on making “America great once again.”
Throughout the week, Republican elected officials, party leaders, celebrities and voters have taken the stage to speak in support of Trump and his running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance. They also adopted a party platform. Trump’s address was his first formal public remarks since an assassination attempt against him last weekend at a rally in Pennsylvania.
