EMAIL DETAILS

Hunter,

Our hearts are heavy with another horrific tragedy in France. Both
Presidential candidates immediately commented - with the media
speculating on the impact that yet another attack will have on the
election.

With Donald Trump making his VP pick official in a tweet this morning,
below is our profile on Governor Mike Pence's foreign policy
record - from America's role in the world to HIV/AIDS
relief.

We'll be watching their speeches tomorrow morning at the
official announcement to see what more we learn, and of course,
covering both conventions and the release of the official platforms.

More from Cleveland.

THE GLOBAL GAB: Trump's VP foreign policy profile
July 15, 2016

Governor Mike Pence has been a strong voice for the importance of
America's global leadership, having said it is "imperative
that conservatives again embrace America's role as leader of the
free world and the arsenal of democracy." He has said foreign
policy could be a central issue in the 2016 election and that he will
be "one of the voices in the party that says that America has a
place in the world, a responsibility... as a beacon of
freedom."

Before becoming Governor of Indiana, Pence served in the U.S. House of
Representatives from 2001 to 2013 where he was a long-serving member
of the Foreign Affairs Committee, a vocal supporter of a strong
U.S.-Israel relationship, and an advocate for increased defense
spending. Having also served as Chairman of the influential Republican
Study Committee and of the House Republican Conference, Pence embraced
the Republican legacy of American global leadership, saying,
"President Reagan taught us, peace comes through
strength."

As a senior member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Pence played a
leadership role in supporting programs to fund the U.S. response to
HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis - and voted for the
President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) in 2003 and
2008. He lauded the bill, saying, "The Bible tells us, 'to
whom much is given, much is expected,' and I believe the United
States has a moral obligation to lead the world in confronting the
pandemic of HIV/AIDS." He added that the threat posed by
HIV/AIDS "to our security is also real" and that it could
"undermine the stability of nations throughout the third world,
leaving behind collapsing economies and tragedy and desperation
- a breeding ground for extremist violence."

While supporting overall programs, Pence sometimes questioned the
efficacy of specific overseas operations, and voted for a few
amendments to cut funding for certain programs, including for the UN
and emergency food aid.

As Governor, Pence actively promoted Indiana's engagement in the
global economy. Through the Indiana Economic Development Foundation,
he traveled on trade missions with Indiana businesses to Canada,
China, Germany, Israel, Japan, and the United Kingdom.

* On PEPFAR, Pence has stated that it is important to not only
provide "medicine and health care to those in need"
but also "funding resources for evidence-based programs
that have been successful in preventing infection."
