Rudy Giuliani (R)

Is the U.S. losing its innovation edge to emerging powers such as China and India?
Our foreign policy should promote not international welfare; it should promote international creativity, innovation, free markets, more trade. Much better than giving foreign aid to people, give them an opportunity to do business with us; give them an opportunity to trade with us, because then we're going to make them self-sufficient; we're not going to make these countries dependent on us.
