HISTORY:
June 10, 1953 - On this day, in a forceful speech, President Dwight D. Eisenhower rejected calls for U.S. "isolationism." He insisted that the United States was committed to the worldwide battle against communism and that he would maintain a strong U.S. defense. In this speech, Eisenhower established what came to be known as his "New Look" foreign policy.
