VIDEO EXCLUSIVE: 2020 Democratic Presidential Candidate Marianne Williamson On Her Foreign Policy Goals, Department Of Peace

Marianne Williamson, a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate and spiritual self-help author, spoke to uPolitics exclusively about what she would hope to accomplish regarding foreign policy should she be elected president. The 67-year-old first-time presidential candidate said she believes what American foreign policy is most missing is a clearly laid out set of long-term objectives to achieve global peace 25 or 50 years from now, something she said is due to an increasing emphasis on corporate profits as opposed to “humanitarian, noble or moral goals.”  Williamson said her solution to fundamentally transforming the U.S.’s foreign policy agenda would include the creation of a Department of Peace.

“Our current foreign policy today has nothing to do with a proactive effort to wage peace,” said Williamson. “Just as no person should think only of themselves, no generation should think only of itself.”
