Washington (CNN)Donald Trump on Wednesday delivered a major foreign policy speech in Washington, laying out his vision for a foreign policy that will put “America first.”
Trump opened his speech Wednesday vowing to “shake the rust off America’s foreign policy” and said he would outline a vision for a U.S. foreign policy “that replaces randomness with purpose, ideology with strategy and chaos with peace.”
He added, “My foreign policy will always put the interests of the American people and American security first.”
Speaking at the Mayflower Hotel as part of his campaign’s efforts to cast him as a more presidential figure and appeal to Republican Party elites., he opened the speech with measured tones and relied on prepared remarks in place of the off-the-cuff style he often deploys on the campaign trail.
Wednesday’s speech — which comes after Trump completed a five-state sweep on Tuesday, bringing him significantly closer to clinching the GOP presidential nomination — is the first in a series of policy addresses Trump will deliver in the coming weeks as he looks to show a different side of his typically brash persona.
