Trump's Promised 'New Foreign Policy' Must Abandon Regime Change for Iran

• LewRockwell.com by Ron Paul

During his "thank you" tour in the midwest, Trump had this to say:

We will pursue a new foreign policy that finally learns from the mistakes of the past. We will stop looking to topple regimes and overthrow governments. …In our dealings with other countries we will seek shared interests wherever possible…"

If this is really to be President Trump's foreign policy, it would be a welcome change from the destructive path pursued by the two previous administrations. Such a foreign policy would go a long way toward making us safer and more prosperous, as we would greatly reduce the possibility of a "blowback" attack from abroad, and we would save untold billions with a foreign policy of restraint.
