Reagan hands give Trump foreign policy advice

CLEVELAND — As Donald Trump lays official claim as the Republican presidential nominee, a few old Ronald Reagan hands and GOP officials used an event near the Republican National Convention to give their impending standard-bearer some foreign policy suggestions.

They offered analysis that felt like advice to Trump, perhaps because members of his national security team were in the audience. Former Reagan speechwriter K.T. MacFarland, who moderated one of the panels, took note of the fact. And the advice amounted to making sure that his populism stops at the water’s edge.
