Does Kamala Harris have a foreign policy?

Kamala Harris has revealed very little about her foreign policy positions
She would likely be supportive of Ukraine, though her policies toward Israel and China are murkier
Taking too strong a position on certain foreign policy matters risks alienating parts of the fragile Democratic coalition

The story

Kamala Harris said very little to the press about her policy goals, and it took over a month to get a policy platform on her website.

Whatever her foreign policy would be you can rest assured it would be coming from Barack Hussein Obama. And we already know what his was. Traitor

Zero Policy Kamala is only interested in herself (she's just a pawn) and maintaining power for the WOKE (a.k.- Marxists). Their policy is to drag the United States of America down into the abyss of communism just as they have done in many other countries. No one is safe from the Elite Globalist to move to One World Order Government and destroy all country's independence.

God help us if she wins. She has no ability to make a decision that DOES good for people. She is only interested in believing what she says so she makes people FEEL good.

She is the worst candidate I've ever seen in my lifetime, and I'm 69! She brings new meaning to ignorant and/or dishonest! And Tim Waltz, what a piece of work! Of all the Democrats she could have picked from, she picks him, why? As Bill says below, Obama, through his surrogates will be running the country (as they are doing now). When the last time, that you can remember, ex-president(s) (Obama & Clinton) so active in promoting a party member? Typically, ex-presidents fade away (Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, Bush Sr., Bush yg) and enjoy retirement, far from the glare of politics. Not this crew!

It's about time someone started to notice the lack of a platform in the Democratic Party. Harris has said very little to nothing and uses character assassination of Trump to cover her own ineptness in politics. People need to wake up and know a vote for someone is not just a vote against someone else, but a vote for policy. Harris doesn't have a policy.

Excellent letter, coverage was near perfection

Disclaimer: I will not be voting for Kamala Harris. Period.

However, were she (and the Dem' Party) to pull this election out of the mud so that she actually won the office of President, I would want to know: 1) Would she, in fact, firm up a foreign policy? And 2) if she did, what would that look like?

Sadly, she isn't talking. Let me rephrase: she isn't saying anything. I saw a clip of her visit with Stephen Colbert, in which he asked her very clearly what one thing she would change from Biden's policies. She devolved into garble so quickly that Colbert made a joke and brought out the beer. Which brought out the giggles before she had taken the first sip.

So...would she look like a strong prosecutor, making firm decisions communicated in declarative sentences? Hard to imagine.
