President Trump on Monday said the U.S. should no longer serve as the “policemen of the world.”
“We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world,” Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.
“We’re spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldn’t be the priority,” he said.
Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.
