Superstar American rapper Kanye West announced his candidacy for president of the United States  on July 4. Much of the celebrity’s foreign policy platform has yet to be determined. However, his lyrics, travels, tweets and wife’s social media indicate possible positions he may take on Iran, Israel, Iraq and Turkey.

“We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future,” he said in an Independence Day tweet.
