Julián Castro calls for foreign policy that reclaims America’s moral authority and restores US diplomacy: “We have to be a nation...that stands up for human rights, that pushes back against tyranny anywhere, that promotes peace and prosperity everywhere.'

He called for"making room for new voices" in the nation's alliances. That starts with a 21st Century Marshall Plan for Central America, normalizing relations with Cuba and lifting sanctions and addressing root causes of migration, including climate change issues, he said.

On the use of military force, Castro said the next president must bring home combat troops and recommit to diplomacy. Castro said he is"highly skeptical" of what military action alone can accomplish, but there are times the U.S. must be willing to use force. The U.S. needs to “prioritize and modernize the defense budget with a vision toward deterring future conflict,” he said.

He reaffirmed his support for Israel’s security, but admonished leaders seeking to annex parts of the West Bank to expand settlements, saying such actions make a two-state solution more distant, if not impossible.In a call with reporters later, he said Trump's creation moving of the U.S embassy to Jerusalem without making it part of a larger negotiated peace agreement and two state solution, was a mistake.

That is not America’s job we are not the police of the world that is why they formed the UN get on their asses and force them to do their jobs

So the country who started bogus wars has moral authority over who? Used Agent orange on people. Nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Interfered in hundreds of elections of other countries. Assassinated leaders of other countries and their own. Started and funded Isis. Bombed hospitals.

Booker and Castro focus on lack of diversity in 2020 race post-Harris exitThe two Democrats are seizing on Harris dropping out of the race to raise the question about what the prospect of this month's Democratic debate featuring only white candidates could mean for a party that relies on black voters. I think BlackVoters are getting tired of being taken for granted by Democrats This is not affirmative action. The best wins by most support Maybe they should just accept that the majority of African American voters (so far) support Biden.

Booker and Castro accuse DNC of excluding minoritiesCory Booker and Julián Castro are taking aim at the Democratic National Committee over a primary process they say is excluding them from this month’s debate but allowing a billionaire to buy his way on to the stage Cause they can't compete Well, well well. Lookie here. It looks to me that the democrat party and its donors may be the real racist after all. Try putting up black candidates who don't use the race card every chance they get. If your message is ' I'm black your not' that won't fly with educated voters.

'More billionaires than black people'Kamala Harris’ decision to drop out of the presidential race has other non-white Democratic candidates lamenting the makeup of the next debate stage and the field overall Yeah, just sixteen distinct people, with sixteen distinct views. Oh. You mean skin color. That's a pretty narrow view for someone that doesn't think with their skin. Are we all not equal. Or is it all about race? But it's the Democrat party of diversity... Old, very rich, white people? And one with hairy legs.
