ByKenThomasandJill Colvin The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA Hillary Clinton vowed Tuesday to conduct a national secu- rity and foreign policy that Americans could be proud of, saying rival Donald Trump "just absolutely be- wilders" her when he talks about his policies around the globe. Clinton embraced the U.S. Olympic team's suc- cess at a voter registration rally in Philadelphia, point- ing to Team USA's gold as an example of an optimistic nation that runs counter to what she considers Trump's pessimism and negativity. "It just absolutely bewil- ders me when I hear Don- ald Trump try to talk about national security," Clinton said, pointing to Vice Pres- ident Joe Biden's dissection of Trump's foreign policy at a Pennsylvania event on Monday. "What (Trump) of- ten says hurts us. It sends the wrong message to friend and foe alike." Turning to the Olympic team, she said, "Team USA is showing the world what this country stands for." Trump on Monday said the country's national se- curity requirements de- manded "extreme" vetting of immigrants seeking ad- missiontotheUnitedStates, pointing to the threat of the Islamic State group and ter- rorism elements. But he of- fered few specifics about how the process might work or how it would be paid for by taxpayers. Clinton and Trump have each sought the upper hand as the chief executive most capable of battling terror- ism. While the GOP busi- ness mogul has vowed to project strength and deci- sive action against terror, the former secretary of state has pointed to her deep for- eign policy credentials and warned that Trump could plunge the nation into an- other war. Trump has previously called for an unprecedented temporary ban on Muslims entering the U.S., and said in his Ohio speech that he would overhaul the nation's screening process and block those who sympathize with extremist groups or fail to embrace American values. The Republican nominee has made changes to the nation's immigration sys- tem and the construction of a wall along the Mexican border a key part of his fight against terrorism and the Islamic State group, which he compared to the struggle against communism during the Cold War. As president, Trump said he would encourage immi- grants to assimilate and urge parents, teachers and others to promote "Amer- ican culture." But he de- clined to say which regions of the world would race "extreme" vetting and how federal agencies would go about conducting the re- view. Trump was traveling on Tuesday to Milwaukee, the site of ongoing protests over the fatal shooting of a black man by a black police offi- cer. His visit follows several days of violence that has left businesses in flames and the Milwaukee police chief ex- pressing surprise at the level of unrest. Clinton said Monday during a stop in Scranton, Pennsylvania, that the Mil- waukee protests showed the nation had "urgent work to do to rebuild trust between police and communities" and that "everyone should have respect for the law and be respected by the law." In an interview on Fox News Channel, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker accused Clinton of "inflaming the situation" with her com- ments. "I think people under- stand in that neighborhood and Sherman Park and in Milwaukee, they want law enforcement to step up and protect them," he said, add- ing that "statements like that" from Clinton and a "lack of leadership" from Obama "only inflame the situation." Trump told Fox News that the shooting in Mil- waukee may have occurred because the officer had a gun to his head. "Who can have a prob- lem with that?" Trump said in an excerpt of the inter- view, aired Tuesday. "If it is true, then people shouldn't be rioting." While polls have shown Clinton building a lead following the Philadel- phia convention, Democrats are fearful that a depressed voter turnout might dimin- ish support among the mi- nority, young and female voters who powered Presi- dent Barack Obama to two victories.
