Former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson (D) argued Tuesday that former President Obama was a “good foreign policy president,” while knocking President Trump for being an "isolationist" and a "nationalist."

“We were respected overseas, he opened the relationship with Cuba,” Richardson said of Obama on Fox News’s “Ingraham Angle.”

“I think he was a very good foreign policy president. And President Trump is an isolationist. He’s a nationalist. Internationally, I travel all the time, we are getting criticized by everybody."

Richardson served as the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under former President Clinton.

Host Laura Ingraham fired back, suggesting “European elites” are the ones criticizing Trump. The same people were critical of former President Reagan, who Ingraham said ended up being “one of the greatest presidents of all time.”
