Donald Trump linked the terror attack in Nice, France Thursday evening to the foreign policy of President Obama and Hillary Clinton, blaming them both for the regional instability that has allowed terrorist groups to flourish and that created the conditions for an attempted coup in Turkey Friday.
“The Middle East today is more unstable than ever before,” Trump said as he introduced his running mate, Gov. Mike Pence, during their first joint campaign appearance.
Trump said Clinton, as a former secretary of state, bears responsibility for Obama’s foreign policy decisions.
“She led him right down a horrible path,” Trump said. “He didn’t know what he was doing.”
“Now we’re seeing unrest in Turkey, a further demonstration of the failure of Obama-Clinton,” he added.
The presumptive Republican nominee cast himself and Pence as the “law and order candidates” who would address growing unrest at home and abroad.
