CHICAGO — Democratic presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar pledged Wednesday to repair the damage she says President Donald Trump has done in the international community, saying that — if elected — she would negotiate a new nuclear agreement with Iran, rejoin a global climate pact and rebuild America's diplomatic corps and its relationships with U.S. allies. "The Trump administration’s withdrawal from international agreements has been one of America’s biggest foreign policy blunders,” the three-term Minnesota senator said during a speech at the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington. “President Trump has made us less safe and squandered America’s leadership abroad." Klobuchar also criticized Trump for cutting short his time at NATO's 70th anniversary celebration in England this month after other world leaders were caught on video gossiping about him. In the video, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was caught talking about Trump with other leaders, including British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron, prompting Trump to call Trudeau “two-faced.” Trump, who has criticized NATO members for not providing enough financial support for the organization, abruptly canceled a news conference and returned to Washington early.
