Huckabee supports the use of alternative energy, including nuclear and clean coal, to reduce greenhouse gases as well as a "cap and trade" system for controlling carbon emissions.

Huckabee believes the United States should toughen its stance with Pakistan and support Israel in defending itself, including providing weapons and technology.
