Representative Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii is an Army National Guard veteran who deployed twice to the Middle East. Her views on foreign policy and specifically her stance on war have emerged as central issues in her campaign.
The context
-
Ms. Gabbard has focused on ending what she calls “regime change wars,” the “new Cold War” and the nuclear arms race.
-
She has introduced legislation in Congress that would prohibit the use of taxpayer dollars for weapons that violate a 1987 nuclear arms-control pact.
-
And she has spoken out forcefully in opposition to President Trump’s Iran strategy and North Korean policy, and what she sees as a general culture of warmongering.
