It's the latest requirement for running for
president - an overseas trip to bolster foreign policy bona fides. New
Jersey Governor Chris Christie has done it. Wisconsin Governor Scott
Walker has too. So has former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. Now it's
Jeb Bush's turn.
Less than a week before the former Florida Governor is expected to enter the presidential race, Bush is embarking on a five-day tour of Germany, Poland and Estonia, beginning Tuesday to "better understand the concerns and views of our European allies on a range of topics," his spokesperson Allie Brandenburger said.
In Berlin, Bush will speak at the Economic Council of the Christian Democratic Party's annual conference where he will take the stage before Germany's President Angela Merkel. This will be the most public portion of his trip, where he will invoke his campaign motto "right to rise" in a speech.
"At a time when so many are still kept down - by poverty, tyranny, or both - we stand for the right to rise," he is expected to say according to excerpts.
