羅姆尼要就外交政策發表首次重要講話大綱

Republican U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney makes his first major campaign speech on foreign policy Monday.

Mr. Romney will speak to students at the Virginia Military Institute in the town of Lexington - the country's oldest military academy.

So far, he has focused mostly on the economy and his plans to repeal President Barack Obama's health care reforms. But he has criticized the president's Middle East policy, saying Mr. Obama is letting the United States be at the mercy of events rather than shaping them.

Mr. Romney wrote in The Wall Street Journal last month that events are moving the country away from being able to protect its people and allies.

President Obama is in California, where on Monday he will dedicate a monument to the late leader of the United Farm Workers union, Cesar Chavez. Later, he will attend a fundraising dinner in San Francisco.共和黨總統候選人羅姆尼星期一首次就外交政策發表重要競選演說。

羅姆尼將在維吉尼亞州的萊剋星敦美國曆史最悠久的軍校維吉尼亞軍校向學生講演。

迄今爲止，羅姆尼關注的焦點集中在經濟問題和他推翻奧巴馬總統醫療保險改革的計劃方面。但是他批評了奧巴馬總統的中東政策，他說，奧巴馬任由美國被動地應付事態，而沒有積極引導事態發展的方向。

羅姆尼上個月在華爾街日報撰文寫道，事態的發展使得美國無力保護其人民和盟友。

奧巴馬星期一將在加利福尼亞州參加“農場工人聯合會”的已故領袖查維茲的紀念碑落成典禮。然後他將在舊金山參加募款晚餐會。
