A chummy discussion between Mike Pence and Dick Cheney quickly turned into a vigorous back-and-forth over Trump’s foreign policy at a private gathering, according to a transcript obtained by the Washington Post.
Cheney also worried aloud to Pence that “we’re getting into a situation when our friends and allies around the world that we depend upon are going to lack confidence in us,” and then offered a blunt criticism of the current administration’s response to foreign policy challenges.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney, seen here in December, and Vice President Mike Pence discussed Trump's foreign policy at the Amercan Enterprise Institute's annual world forum, according to a transcript obtained by the Washington Post. Almost from the start, the discussion shifted from lighthearted catch-up to a cordial confrontation between the two men and the tense discussion surprised most attendees and caused murmurs in the room throughout the talk, according to a person present who was not authorized to speak publicly.
The resulting impression, at least publicly, Cheney warned, is that “the decision gets made overnight or it gets made oftentimes without consulting anybody else -- that he’s out there doing his thing.” He added, “But we think it’s possible to demand that your allies do more to provide for the common defense of all of our nations and, at the same time, reaffirm our strong commitment -- whether it be to the trans-Atlantic alliance or to our allies across the Indo-Pacific.”
Pence again defended the administration, articulating Trump’s noninterventionist approach to foreign policy. On the decision to withdraw troops from Syria, for instance, Pence disputed the notion Trump made the move over the course of, but said that Trump supporters have long known he was skeptical about ongoing military conflagrations involving U.S. troops.
