Donald Trump will deliver a speech focused on foreign policy issues next Wednesday at the National Press Club in Washington, the Republican presidential front-runner's campaign announced Friday, in its latest effort to enunciate policy positions as it looks to position itself in a general election fight.

“I am honored to be invited to speak at an organization founded by former President Richard Nixon, and look forward to sharing my views on the many serious foreign policy issues facing our country and our allies around the world," Trump said in a statement released through the campaign. "Trade, immigration and security policies are critical concerns of all Americans, and we must develop a clear, consistent long-term foreign policy for making America safe and prosperous.”

The speech also represents an opportunity for Trump to shed further light on a series of comments pertaining to foreign policy, namely the United States' role in NATO, as well as the suggestion that he would not mind nuclear proliferation in South Korea and Japan.


"Engaging the foreign policy community and top experts is essential for the United States to develop an effective foreign policy agenda, and we applaud Mr. Trump for his commitment to this important arena," Simes said in the statement.

Zalmay Khalilzad, who served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under President George W. Bush, will preside over the event. - Read More
