Tr*mp: We don't want to be the policemen of the world BY BRETT SAMUELS - 04/30/18 (Memory failure?)
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/385521-trump-we-dont-want-to-be-the-policemen-of-the-world/President Trump on Monday said the U.S. should no longer serve as the “policemen of the world.”
“We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world,” Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
“We’re spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldn’t be the priority,” he said. “We want to police ourselves and we want to rebuild our country. And the president understands that.”{mosads}
Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.
