Trump addressed foreign relations, emphasizing that his vision includes helping other nations but on terms that require respect for the U.S. “We’ll help the world – a lot of people think we’re isolationists, we’re not,” he explained. “But we want the world to appreciate what we’re doing. They have to appreciate that we’re helping them.”

New ‘golden age’ for America!
