Diplomacy

“If we want peace, we must work for justice. If we want security, we must invest in diplomacy. And if we want to lead, we must lead by example.”

“Patty supports foreign policy based on diplomacy rather than warfare, international cooperation rather than domination, and respect for human rights, not corporate or military profits.”

“Renewed emphasis on diplomacy and peace-making”

“Angela is running to end the blank checks for war, bombs, and weapons, and to demand that money be reinvested in our communities where it belongs. War is not a foreign policy. As one of the most powerful nations in the world, we should lead with diplomacy at the center of our foreign policy.”

“I'll put diplomacy first, demand human rights, and end blank-check wars.”

“True leadership means working for peace, not preparing for endless war. The United States has spent over $8 trillion on war since 2001, often with little accountability and devastating consequences. We've also failed to recognize and prevent the devastation of genocidal wars claiming the lives of millions from Palestine and Sudan to the Congo and Tigray. It's time to reimagine our global role: not as a militarized empire, but as a champion of diplomacy, human rights, and peacebuilding. We need to end the blank checks for endless war and reallocate that funding towards diplomacy abroad and housing, education, and healthcare here at home.”

“LEAD WITH DIPLOMACY”

“At a time when Donald Trump is putting our troops in harm’s way and trampling our Constitution, we need leaders who will prioritize diplomacy, passion, and empathy.”

“He’ll fight to restore the United States’ role as a serious leader on the international stage, advancing democracy, human rights, and collaboration to resolve shared global challenges, and for a foreign policy rooted in diplomacy and the rule of law.”

“Prioritize diplomacy, de-escalation, and long-term stability, with military action only as a last resort with clear objectives and accountability.”

“Seek diplomatic solutions to global challenges, not more war”

“Instead of being drawn into dumb wars with bad allies, rebuild our communities, lead with diplomacy, and restore Congress’s constitutional authority over the decision to go to war.”

“The Pentagon has the largest budget of any federal government agency. As a result, we spend nearly $1 trillion in taxpayer dollars every year to line the pockets of corporate defense contractors and to wage endless wars abroad. You know what doesn’t cost a trillion dollars? Leading with diplomacy, our nation’s greatest foreign policy asset — not bombs and weapons.”

“America has a vital role in the world: protecting our security, upholding democratic values, and working with allies to address shared threats. Our strength has always come not just from military power, but from diplomacy, economic engagement, development, and partnerships that reinforce a stable, rules-based international order.”

“I’m fighting back against the Trump Administration’s reckless foreign policy that has weakened our alliances and diminished America’s leadership abroad. Maryland families deserve a national security strategy that keeps our country safe while standing firmly with our democratic allies. That means strengthening global partnerships, confronting terrorism and emerging threats, and ensuring America leads the world with strength and principled diplomacy. Security is not partisan. It’s foundational.”

“Patty supports foreign policy based on diplomacy rather than warfare, international cooperation rather than domination, and respect for human rights, not corporate or military profits.”

“Reintegración con la comunidad internacional Desafortunadamente, la administración Trump ha desmantelado algunos de nuestros mejores vehículos para interactuar positivamente con la comunidad global, ya sea a través de ayuda humanitaria, intercambio cultural o participación en organismos y acuerdos internacionales. Esta es una enorme pérdida y representa un mayor enfoque de la política exterior de EE.UU. en el imperialismo militarista, en lugar de la diplomacia y la amistad. En el Congreso, trabajaré para revertir el desmantelamiento de agencias como USAID, presionaré para reincorporarnos a tratados como el Acuerdo de París, y también trabajaré para establecer nuevos medios de interacción positiva a nivel internacional.”

“She is a strong proponent of diplomacy, working with our allies, and honoring key alliances like NATO.”

“Support mediation through the United Nations: Aggression and war are not sustainable or moral forms of negotiation. We should commit to ending military interventions and resolving conflicts through diplomacy and international bodies like the United Nations.”

“The United States must defend our country, stand with our allies, uphold democracy and human rights, and pursue diplomacy wherever possible. Military force should never be used without lawful authority, clear objectives, and an honest plan for what comes next. Congress must reclaim its constitutional responsibility for decisions of war and peace, because service members and their families should never pay the price for political recklessness.”

“Rebuild the State Department’s diplomatic capacity and restore U.S. leadership in multilateral development institutions.”

“Rebalancing the Federal Budget: I’ll work to shift resources from the bloated Pentagon budget to diplomatic efforts, humanitarian aid, and global development, including reopening USAID and other diplomatic agencies shuttered by Trump.”

“Restore Funding for Our Diplomatic Institutions”

“Fully restore and increase funding for diplomatic institutions: We need to reverse Donald Trump’s and Elon Musk’s attacks on the State Department, USAID, and international broadcasting entities like VOA, Radio Free Europe, and Radio Free Asia.”

“Invest in diplomatic capacity: We should strengthen our diplomatic workforce by hiring and training a new generation of Foreign Service Officers, development experts, and other diplomacy professionals.”

“Leading with strength and strategy: Using diplomacy, economic power, and smart defense investments to keep America secure in a changing world.”

“I’m fighting back against the Trump Administration’s reckless foreign policy that has weakened our alliances and diminished America’s leadership abroad. Maryland families deserve a national security strategy that keeps our country safe while standing firmly with our democratic allies. That means strengthening global partnerships, confronting terrorism and emerging threats, and ensuring America leads the world with strength and principled diplomacy. Security is not partisan. It’s foundational.”

“Not only Israel, but the U.S. and our European allies need to really strike that balance. You can only deal with diplomacy and important issues if you also carry a big stick to be able to respond, if necessary, and eventually to prevent the kind of military action that is not desired.”

“America’s leadership should not be defined only by military strength, but also by our commitment to diplomacy, humanitarian assistance, and global stability.”

“Prioritize diplomacy, de-escalation, and long-term stability, with military action only as a last resort with clear objectives and accountability.”

“She believes we must exhaust diplomatic options before putting American lives at risk.”

“The United States must defend our country, stand with our allies, uphold democracy and human rights, and pursue diplomacy wherever possible.
