The billionaire businessman simultaneously addressed restive American voters and global elites worried by his fiery rhetoric on national security: He stressed that the United States would always put its economic and foreign policy interests first but said that allies in Europe, Asia and the Middle East would benefit from a much stronger, less ambiguous U.S. role in the world — as long as they were prepared to pay up.” Topic to follow: Foreign Policy Donald Trump forced from his motorcade amid chaotic protests at California convention—The Guardian, Julia Carrie Wong, Maria L La Ganga and Sam Levin Top line: “Protesters in California forced Donald Trump to leave his motorcade and walk along a highway on Friday, amid chaotic demonstrations in which activists torched an American flag and set fire to a piñata of the Republican frontrunner.
