Military preparedness and budget

  • Daniels writes, in his book Keeping the Republic, that the U.S. should limit its defense missions to those that are of vital interests to the nation. He states that the U.S. cannot continue to "spread universally the human rights we hold dear."[1]

International relations

  • While considering a run for president in 2012, Mitch Daniels admitted that foreign policy was an area in which he had little knowledge, according to Politico.[3]
  • In 2010, Ben Smith of Politico noted that during a round-table discussion in Washington, Daniels, when asked about foreign policy, responded by answering questions from a fiscal point-of-view. This response solicited some concerns from conservatives about Daniels' background in foreign policy issues.[4]
