Trump on foreign policy:
‘America First’: Trump lays out foreign policy vision in Washington speech

…”Trump also reached back to early US history, echoing the famous line delivered in 1821 by Secretary of State and future president John Quincy Adams.
“We do not go abroad in search of enemies,” he said, “We’re happy to see our old enemies become friends, and friends become allies.” “
