Foreign Policy on the Campaign Trail

Battleground Ohio: Assessing the 2016 Presidential Race

Foreign policy rivals the economy as an issue of deep concern to voters in 2016 – even as character issues seem to dominate media coverage of the campaign. Dr. Marc Simon and Dr. Neil Englehart assess the considerable differences between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump on a range of issues. ISIS, immigration, international trade, Syria and the future of NATO are among the key foreign policy issues on which the two major-party nominees differ. Clinton and Trump’s foreign policy positions are contrasted with one another as well as with the foreign policy of President Obama.
