Foreign policy will take center stage
Many of the speeches Wednesday will take aim at the Biden administration's handling of global issues, including the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, according to Trump's campaign and the Republican National Committee, with the theme of "Make America Strong Once Again."
"Under Joe Biden, the weakest commander-in-chief in our country's history, America has become a global laughingstock," the committee put out in an advance release.
Republicans see foreign policy as one of their strongest campaign issues, arguing that America's standing on the world stage was stronger under Trump despite the party's growing isolationist shift.
"I can tell you, countries around the world, leaders, are absolutely uncomfortable with the unpredictability of Donald Trump," Grenell, Trump's former ambassador to Germany, said during a reporters' roundtable Monday. "And when I say uncomfortable, that means they don't know exactly what he's going to do next. And that's a positive for us."
It is an argument he will likely make again Wednesday night.
