Good point, those aren’t his areas.

I’m sure he’ll go to school on those, particular to face Biden. Biden is a foreign policy expert, y’know. :)

I would hope he reminds America that Biden has been wrong about every major foreign policy issue in his long career.

Anyway, I looked up a speech of his on foreign policy, in general.

Here’s an excerpt from an American Spectator article that includes a transcript of the full speech:

“A world without U.S. leadership will be a more chaotic place,” Ryan said. “A place where we have less influence, and a place where our citizens face more dangers and fewer opportunities. Take a moment and imagine a world led by China and Russia.”

Ryan spoke at length about American exceptionalism as it relates to America’s role in the world. “America is an idea,” he said. “And it was the first nation founded as such. The idea is rather simple. Our rights come to us from God and nature. They occur naturally, before government.”

This belief in the American idea, Ryan said, should inform the nation’s foreign policy. “Now, if you believe these rights are universal human rights, then that clearly forms the basis of your views on foreign policy,” he said. “It leads you to reject moral relativism. It causes you to recoil at the idea of presistent moral indifference toward any nation that stifles and denies liberty, no matter how friendly and accommodating its rules are to American interests.”
