Can Jeb Bush Distinguish Himself From His Brother on Foreign Policy?

The former Florida governor has been speaking aggressively about America's role in the world, while privately admiring experts with more centrist views.

As former Florida Governor Jeb Bush looks for opportunities to distinguish himself from the brother he’d like to follow into the White House, he seems ready to adopt a similar approach to foreign policy.

On Wednesday, Bush will address the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, giving his first speech focused on foreign policy since he announced in December that he was actively exploring a Republican presidential campaign. While Bush’s positions on immigration and education are relatively well known among Republican voters, his positions on America’s role in the world remain largely undefined.
