WASHINGTON, July 21 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump said that the United States has no right to lecture other countries when it faces a mess back home, a newspaper reported Thursday.
The United States has to "fix our own mess" before trying to alter the behavior of other nations, Trump told The New York Times in an interview on the eve of accepting the nomination at the Republican National Convention (RNC) held in Cleveland, Ohio.
"I don't think we have a right to lecture," Trump said. "How are we going to lecture when people are shooting policemen in cold blood?"
He was referring to the latest two shootings in which eight police officers were killed and a dozen others were wounded by two black gunmen, apparently in retaliation for the killings of two black men by police in the states of Louisiana and Minnesota. These incidents have sparked angry protests across the nation amid rising racial tensions.
Previewing his speech for the RNC Thursday night, Trump said the rest of the world would learn to adjust to his foreign policy that will be vastly different from the traditions of the Republican Party since World War II, The New York Times reported.
Trump said that he would prefer to be able to continue existing agreements only if allies stopped taking advantage of what he called an era of American largesse that was no longer affordable, according to the Times.
In the interview, the brash billionaire repeatedly defined American global interests almost purely in economic terms.
He even called into question whether he, if elected, would automatically extend the U.S. security guarantees for the NATO allies.
When asked whether he would come to the aid of the Baltic States in the NATO if they were attacked by Russia, Trump said he would decide whether to come to their aid only after reviewing whether those nations "have fulfilled their obligations to us."
"If they fulfill their obligations to us, the answer is yes," he added.
Trump also said he was prepared to scrap the North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico and Canada if he could not negotiate radically better terms, the Times reported.
The deployment of American troops abroad, while preferable, was not necessary, Trump said.
If needed, the United States could always deploy troops from American soil, which "will be a lot less expensive," he was quoted as saying.
Commenting on the attempted military coup in Turkey that stained U.S.-Turkey ties as Ankara blamed the coup on a Turkish cleric living in the United States, Trump praised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for "being able to turn that around."
Different from the Obama administration, Trump did not call on Turkey to respect the rule of law in a massive post-coup crackdown and purge of the military.
"When the world sees how bad the United States is and we start talking about civil liberties, I don't think we are a very good messenger," he said in the Times interview.
Trump called Syrian President Bashar al-Assad "a bad man," but said that the terror group Islamic State poses a far greater threat to the United States.
The Republican nominee also vowed to fund a major military buildup, starting with a modernization of the U.S. nuclear arsenal. "We have a lot of obsolete weapons," he told the Times. Enditem
Within 2008 Eric Dier Jersey , Malaysia also unveiled the Perodua Nautica. It was available with automatic transmission in the same costs having the extended wheel base Toyota Hurry. It is available within gray and black coloring options. This vehicle comes with a 1. 5 liter DVVT electrical power plant having lockable fundamental headlamp.
I’ve arrived there in October, 2006 which was almost the start of high season. I’ve travelled to Kuala Lumpur with Gulf Air and than to Langkawi with Surroundings Asia. The airport is small Dele Alli Jersey , few shops and cafes, lots of car rental benches and taxis. It’s clever to rent a car in Langkawi because taxi is more costly than big cities. Also you can find no public transports Davinson Sanchez Jersey , if you need to go around, you always require a taxi. It’s very easy to find a good deal to get a small car or with somewhat more budget a Perodua 4×4. More expensive cars are obtainable but I don’t imagine it’s necessary.
There are plenty of hotels and resorts within Langkawi. Most of these are stationed around Pantai Cenang area. But if you wish to live there Danny Rose Jersey , you don’t have many choices.
If you ought to live in Langkawi, it’s possible you’ll prefer a condo. There are 5 choices; Century Surya which is near to the west Kuah Town Christian Eriksen Jersey , almost during the town; Kondo Istana, Chogm Villa which is what I’ve chosen again than Cameron Carter-Vickers Jersey , Sri Lagenda is right in the opposite of Chogm Villa and in a very remote place between Pantai Cenang and Pantai Kok; Perdana Shore Resort. Also you can find Malay houses around Pantai Cenang or the areas. It’s really hard to identify a decent one and usually most of them need lots of repairs.
Prices vary between 1000rm (~$290) together with 3500rm (~$1000). Kondo Istana and Century Suria looks excellent but they have bad pools and prices are high in comparison to others. I strongly recommend Chogm Villa the industry very beautiful place. Apartment quality is same as the other condos and contains a very big lovely pool.
For shopping you can find not much choices. You can go to Langkawi Fair which is the biggest shopping local mall now. You can find a good supermarket here and much much more shops where you can buy nice souvenirs, furniture etc. Most of the good quality and brand shops are generally here. There is also Langkawi Parade at the west entrance of this town. It’s the poorer version of Langkawi Fair. But it has a large supermarket at the bottom floor to purc.
