Pence tries to calm worries about Trump's foreign policy

Vice President-elect Mike Pence attempted to calm European fears on Monday that President-elect Trump is pulling the United States away from its traditional allies and toward Russia.

Speaking on Fox News, Pence said Trump's statements to foreign newspapers that NATO is obsolete that caused a stir Monday, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel saying Europe's fate is in "our own hands," shouldn't be seen so negatively.

When he comes into office, Trump will be prepared to work with all countries.

"Donald Trump is going to square his shoulders, he's going to engage the world and we're going to look for opportunity to make progress for peace and security," Pence said.
