Paul Ryan lays out GOP’s national security agenda, softening Trump’s edges

House Speaker Paul D. Ryan on Thursday introduced his national security blueprint — and it often reads like an attempt to soften the sharp edges of some of Donald Trump’s more controversial proposals.
Where Trump has proposed building a wall along the southern border and getting Mexico to pay for it, Ryan’s blueprint stresses that “we need more than just fencing” to keep undocumented immigrants and illegal weapons from crossing the border.
Where Trump has dismissed NATO as obsolete, Ryan urged “modernizing and solidifying NATO” – while at the same time encouraging NATO allies to spend more on defense so the alliance does not “fall into disrepair, or worse, irrelevance.”
