Law is the essential foundation of stability and order both within societies and in international relations.

As a conservative power, the United States has a vital interest in upholding and expanding the reign of law in international relations.

International politics, like all politics, is a struggle for power

I've served on the International Relations Committee.

I don't believe in ideology in international relations.
