Disagree

Yes, but I would prefer a ban on all military aid to any foreign countries

While there is a faction within the Republican Party that advocates for a more isolationist approach, the mainstream party stance supports the use of military aid and arms sales as tools of foreign policy and national security. A ban on all military aid to foreign countries would not align well with this view.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and ban all sales to countries with human rights violations

The Republican Party generally supports maintaining strong defense and strategic alliances, often viewing arms sales as a tool for foreign policy and national security. A complete ban on sales to countries with human rights violations would likely be seen as too restrictive and detrimental to U.S. strategic interests.
