As President Donald Trump heads to the Group of Seven summit in France next week with his 'America First' agenda, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been quietly engaging the world with another point of view.
with members of the Congressional Black Caucus, including the immigrant congresswoman who became the subject of a Trump rally chant, “Send her back!”
Congressional leaders routinely play a role influencing policy abroad. While House speaker, Newt Gingrich, R-Ga., visited the former Soviet Union. More recently, when John Boehner, R-Ohio, was speaker, he invited Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu to address a joint meeting of Congress amid opposition to the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with Iran. Pelosi, as a young lawmaker, went to China to oppose the violent crackdown on democracy protesters in Tiananmen Square.
Trump dismissed Pelosi’s “excursion” as a “public relations event” and suggested the lawmakers could fly on commercial aircraft to the combat zone. Congressional travel is, by law, federally funded. Her stand countered the one Trump’s national security adviser, John Bolton, was taking during his own visit talking up a quick trade deal.
