“I believe in an inclusive foreign policy—one that centers on human rights, justice and peace as the pillars of America’s engagement in the world, one that brings our troops home and truly makes military action a last resort,” Representative Ilhan Omar wrote.
Representative Ilhan Omar has argued for a shift in U.S. foreign policy, pointing to inconsistencies in how the government holds its adversaries and allies to account for human rights abuses.

Since taking office, the freshman congresswoman has been outspoken in her criticism of U.S. foreign policy and the government's support for countries that commit human rights abuses. Omar has also said that the problem goes beyond party lines and administrations. Although she has harshly criticized President Donald Trump and his unwavering support for Saudi Arabia and other problematic regimes, she recently said that former President Barack Obama was part of the problem as well.
