    As the third day of the Republican National Convention kicks off, Republicans are shifting the focus to national security and foreign policy in a bid to draw a stark contrast with Democrats’ handling of ongoing crises in Europe and the Middle East. Republicans spent Tuesday highlighting what they call Democrats’ failure to secure U.S. borders from illegal immigration. On Wednesday, speakers will address America’s standing on the world stage. Former Trump administration officials are expected to outline what foreign policy would look like in a second Trump term. Ex-Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro has been released from prison in Florida and is expected to speak.

      Donald Trump was celebrated Tuesday at the Republican National Convention by former rivals who just months ago leveled harsh critiques about him. It was a show of unity that contrasts with the divisions increasingly ripping through the Democratic Party. Nikki Haley, who was Trump’s final challenger in the GOP primary, directly addressed her supporters, saying, “You don’t have to agree with Trump 100% of the time to vote for him.†Ron DeSantis, a primary rival who has worked to rebuild his relationship with the former president, said: “We cannot let him down. And we cannot let America down.†The Haley and DeSantis appearances were particularly notable given the personal animosity that defined this year’s GOP contest.
