Kamala Harris and Donald Trump - Worlds Apart on Foreign Policy
With the exception of President Joe Biden, Kamala Harris would be the most foreign policy-experienced U.S. president to take office in 35 years if she is elected in November.
That is the assessment of Chatham House, Britain’s widely respected Royal Institute of International Affairs whose century-old global mission is “to help governments and societies build a sustainably secure, prosperous and just world.”
As the child of immigrants from Jamaica and India, Harris grew up in diverse communities and traveled the world with her family from an early age. She prosecuted violent gangs, drug cartels and human traffickers as district attorney in San Francisco and as California’s attorney general. Harris served on the Senate Intelligence and Homeland Security Committees during her four-year stint as a U.S. senator. And as vice president she traveled to 21 countries, met with more than 150 foreign leaders and played a key role in forging the global mission aiding Ukraine since Russia invaded.
In the Middle East, Harris has signaled unwavering support for Israel’s right to defend itself while also voicing concern for the “unacceptable” level of civilian suffering and casualties in Gaza. As the sitting vice president, she has had to toe a diplomatic line drawn by Biden. But her intention is clear that as president she would take a tougher stance against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
