Republican candidate Romney blasts Obama on foreign policy
Oct 7, 2011, 16:05 GMT
Washington - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney attacked President Barack Obama on foreign policy Friday, in a speech laying out his vision for the US role in the world.
'I will not surrender America's role in the world,' Romney told cadets at the Citadel military college in South Carolina. 'This is very simple: If you do not want America to be the strongest nation on Earth, I am not your president. You have that president today.'
He called for a full review of the US role in Afghanistan and an increase in naval ship building as part of his call to boost US military strength.
Romney has recently sought out many of former president George W Bush's advisors to guide him on foreign policy.
The former Massachusetts governor is among the top contenders for the Republican Party's presidential nomination ahead of November 2012 elections.
