Cruz addressed the three American prisoners released from North Korea early Thursday morning.
“Well, it’s a big deal,” Cruz said. “And the president is to be commended for bringing these three Americans home. That is a major victory. And it’s really the results of American strength. You know, we saw for eight years under Barack Obama a foreign policy that was really a policy of weakness and appeasement. Remember how Obama put it? Leading from behind.”
“And the problem is weakness and appeasement doesn’t work, especially with dictators like Kim Jong-un. President Trump has come in with a strong American foreign policy, getting back to peace through strength, and I think we are seeing the results of it with three Americans coming home.”
