Tulsi Gabbard, the U.S. director of national intelligence, said on Oct. 31 that America’s former strategy of “regime change or nation building” had ended under President Donald Trump, with Gabbard describing the previous practice as counterproductive and wasteful of taxpayer resources.
Gabbard, a former congresswoman from Hawaii and U.S. Army National Guard veteran, made the remarks at the Manama Dialogue, an annual security summit in Bahrain organized by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, where she addressed an audience of diplomats, analysts, and defense officials.
