Warren’s views on countries in the crosshairs of the US State Department largely conform to those of her colleagues on Capitol Hill: Iran is a “bad actor,” Russia and China “are working to undermine the basic human rights we hold dear,” and so on. This is so disappointing! WASHINGTON — Senator Elizabeth Warren is making strides to characterize her foreign policy vision as a progressive one after she announced she’d be forming an exploratory committee for a presidential run.

Senator Elizabeth Warren, the first Democrat to materially signal a presidential run in 2020, is a “big P” Progressive flank to Bernie Sanders’ “democratic socialism” from the establishment center. She has mostly made a name for herself as a consumer advocate, but when it comes to foreign policy, Warren is a mixed bag. She has pushed back on US support for the Saudi-led war on Yemen but pushed for further US military support for apartheid Israel in its war on Palestinians.
Warren’s views on countries in the crosshairs of the US State Department largely conform to those of her colleagues on Capitol Hill: Iran is a “bad actor,” Russia and China “are working to undermine the basic human rights we hold dear,” and so on.
Following President Trump’s detente with North Korea at the summit in Singapore last year, Warren hastily issued a statement, reducing the historical meeting to a “photo op” that “doesn’t change the fact that a nuclear-armed North Korea is a threat to the security of the United States, our allies, and the world.”
She has, at times, departed from the beltway consensus and issued anti-war votes, including against a bill that authorized Obama to train and arm so-called “rebels” in Syria in 2014. Warren’s objections to war are typically procedural.
Running for president requires a candidate to define their vision on a host of issues, and chief among them is foreign policy. So far, she hasn’t made her views excessively clear, as many a savvy politician knows better than to do.
