Hillary Clinton will use her foreign policy speech Wednesday at Stanford University to lay out her case for fighting terrorism in the wake of Tuesday's attacks in Brussels, hitting Republican candidates for their "wrong" and "dangerous" responses.

The former secretary of state, who has previously addressed terrorism in speeches in Minneapolis and at the Council on Foreign Relations, will say that the United States' response must be as "nimble and comprehensive" as its adversaries.

"She'll say that to defeat this kind of transnational threat, we need to reinforce the alliances - in particular, NATO - that have been core pillars of American power for decades. At the same time, she will also identify steps our European partners can take to improve coordination and information-sharing," a Clinton campaign official said.

Clinton used a portion of her speech following a victory in the Arizona primary on Tuesday to lambaste Republican candidates Donald Trump and Ted Cruz for their responses to the latest attacks.

"This is a time for America to lead, not to cower. And we will lead, and we will defeat terrorists that threaten our friends and allies," Clinton told supporters Tuesday evening in Seattle.
