US Defense Secretary: The Era of Utopian Idealism in US Foreign Policy Is Over

Sputnik, Moscow - US Defense Secretary Esper said that the US is moving away from idealistic foreign policy and adopting a more realistic approach.

Esper said at a defense forum in California: "The purpose of our actions is that not only our country, but the whole world will win. Long live rational realism, down with utopian idealism."

President Trump has repeatedly stated that during his term, the US will distance itself from large-scale foreign projects, and there will be no similar events such as the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan, and instead adopt plans based on US national interests.
