McConnell Attacks ‘America First’ Policies Despite Trump’s Massive Win

A prominent critic of President-elect Donald Trump appears to be preparing to oppose key aspects of the incoming administration’s foreign policy agenda despite the electoral mandate of America First.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is challenging Trump’s foreign policy outlook, urging the president-elect to reject what he describes as America First’s “flirtation with isolation and decline” in an essay published in Foreign Affairs on Monday.

The former Senate Republican leader is also encouraging the administration to adopt many foreign policy positions that Trump notably opposed during the campaign, including supporting increased foreign aid, free trade agreements, solidarity with NATO, and more weapons transfers to Ukraine.
