Reagan on Foreign Policy, America, and Diplomacy

“America is committed to the world because so much of the world is inside America.”

October 24, 1985

“America is committed to the world because so much of the world is inside America. After all, only a few miles from this very room is our Statue of Liberty, past which life began anew for millions, where the peoples from nearly every country in this hall joined to build these United States. The blood of each nation courses through the American vein and feeds the spirit that compels us to involve ourselves in the fate of this good Earth.”

— Address to the 40th Session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, New York
