Senator John McCain and his presidential campaign issued a press release followed by a policy address in early 2008 outlining his foreign policy positions. McCain expressed support for: an international 'cap-and-trade system' for 'substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions'; economic assistance for Africa; creating 'new international institutions'; expansion of NATO membership; a transformation of NATO's mission; and a 'global League of Democracies' with NATO at its core for the 'advancement of global democratic principles' and a 'new global order of peace'.



The February 8, 2008, McCain press release titled, Senator McCain Urges NATO Renaissance, stated:

 

b"The charge before the transatlantic community today is to establish the basis for a new global order of peace, one that will last not just for a decade but for the rest of this century. And as we move forward, we know that there can be no true and lasting peace unless it is built on a foundation of freedom. Today we need a rebirth of NATO, a renaissance of the transatlantic relationship to extend peace, prosperity, and democracy far into the 21st century.
