Trump meets with Henry Kissinger

Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Wednesday met with Henry Kissinger, the former secretary of state and national security advisor under President Richard Nixon. 

The meeting, which took place at Kissinger's home, came as Trump seeks support from members of the Republican establishment and to shore up his foreign policy credentials. Last week, Trump met with former Secretary of State James Baker.  

Trump has so far eschewed Republican foreign policy orthodoxy, saying he opposed the 2003 Iraq War, and calling into question the U.S.'s military alliances and the benefits of international trade. 

Kissinger recently weighed in on the presidential campaign at a Pentagon ceremony where he was awarded the Department's top civilian honor.
