Pompeo believes the U.S. should maintain its leadership role on the world stage, using military power and diplomatic influence to promote global stability and counter authoritarian threats. This strategy aligns with interventionism, realism, and liberal internationalism, with a particular focus on the importance of alliances in Europe and the Indo-Pacific.
In contrast, JD Vance’s approach is more populist and America First, prioritizing domestic economic security over international commitments. While Vance shares concerns about China's rise, he questions the value of U.S. participation in alliances like NATO, advocating for a more isolationist, non-interventionist stance. He believes U.S. resources should be focused on addressing domestic issues rather than engaging in distant global conflicts or multilateral agreements that don’t directly serve American interests.</span></font></div>
