Possible Republican 2016 contender Jindal stakes out hawkish tone

(Reuters) - Potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate Bobby Jindal on Monday pressed for an increase in U.S. defense spending to 4 percent of GDP, distinguishing himself from rivals in the future nominating race with a hawkish tone on foreign policy.

The Louisiana governor, who is considering a run for the presidency, is trying to appeal to right-leaning conservatives in his party with an aggressive stance on foreign policy while distancing himself from Tea Party-affiliated candidates with more isolationist tendencies.

"Within the arena of national defense, the need now is for more funding, not less," Jindal said during remarks at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, setting a goal for defense spending to reach 4 percent of U.S. gross domestic product.

"We must undo the president’s harmful spending cuts, and ensure that our fighting men and women always have the tools they need to succeed."

(...SNIPPED)
