Both GOP presidential front-runners lack a coherent strategy to keep the country safe, according to a report released Monday morning by the Heritage Action for America.

Donald Trump's foreign policy strategy has included a lot of rhetoric about the need to more aggressively assert American power, but his lack of specifics and contradictions make it unclear how he would actually do so, the report says.

"Trump has suggested that he would project American strength abroad, but his unconventional foreign policy prescriptions raise more questions of significant consequence than they answer," the report states.
