Republican front-runner Donald Trump reveals his foreign policy team in an interview with The Washington Post.
Trump says the team would be chaired by Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama.
“Walid Phares, who you probably know. Ph.D., adviser to the House of Representatives. He’s a counterterrorism expert,” Trump tells the Post.
“Carter Page, Ph.D. George Papadopoulos. He’s an oil and energy consultant. Excellent guy. The honorable Joe Schmitz, [was] inspector general at the Department of Defense. General Keith Kellogg. And I have quite a few more. But that’s a group of some of the people that we are dealing with. We have many other people in different aspects of what we do. But that’s a pretty representative group,” he says.
He adds that he plans to reveal more members of his team in the coming days.
