Chris Christie proposed stronger government surveillance and a larger U.S. military as he laid out his foreign-policy platform during a New Hampshire speech.
Christie, the second-term Republican governor of New Jersey who is considering a run for president, said Army and Marine contingents shouldn’t be reduced below levels that existed before the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The U.S. needs more Navy ships and a larger Air Force, he said.
