Reagan on Foreign Policy, National Security, and Diplomacy

“We have demonstrated time and again that plain talk, a strong defense, and tough diplomacy bring peace.”

August 14, 1988

“We have proved that what works in foreign policy is exactly the opposite of the policies of our opposition. We have demonstrated time and again that plain talk, a strong defense, and tough diplomacy bring peace. What a great moment we have before us, and oh how future generations will dishonor us if now, in a moment of sudden folly, we throw it all away.”

— Remarks at the Welcoming Rally at the Republican National Convention in New Orleans, Louisiana
