Ryan Praises Afghanistan Speech: I Heard a New Trump ‘Doctrine’ Tonight (Mediaite)

Speaker Paul Ryan started off his CNN town hall tonight by reacting to President Trump‘s big address on Afghanistan.

He told Jake Tapper he has been briefed on the policy, saying, “I think it’s high time we had a more comprehensive strategy” on Afghanistan.

And Ryan praised the President in particular:

“What I heard tonight for the first time… I think I heard a new Trump strategy, or a doctrine, so to speak. Principled realism is how I think he described it.”
