U.S. alliances

“As a Navy veteran, I saw firsthand how crucial our allies are to America’s national security. When we train together, deploy together, and stand together, we are stronger and safer. In Congress, I’ll fight to strengthen those partnerships and make sure America continues to lead with strength and integrity.”

“Preserve our standing on the world stage as a reliable partner intent on preserving peace and supporting democracy worldwide.”

It’s foundational.”

“Stop endless wars and support our allies.”

“The foreign policy we’re seeing isn’t “America First” – it’s playing directly into China and Russia’s hands while hurting our credibility at home and abroad. Instead of defending our allies and strengthening NATO, we’re weakening our alliances all over the globe with insults and knee-jerk foreign policy decisions based on ego and social media instead of reality and solid intelligence. And we’re spending billions of dollars on pointless foreign wars when we have many of our own problems to solve right here at home.”

“We should lead the world to protect democracy, prosperity, and peace. We ensure security at home and abroad by standing with our democratic allies and engaging in a foreign policy that centers diplomacy, cooperation, and human rights.”

“End the forever wars that put our military and military families in harm’s way by stopping the new forever war in Iran and encouraging more cooperation with our foreign allies, including NATO and the EU.”

“Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is an attack on a sovereign democracy and a threat to the security of Europe and the United States. Ukraine and our NATO allies have stood with America, and we must stand with them.”

“Scott will fight to restore U.S. military and economic aid to Ukraine so it can negotiate from a position of strength, not desperation. America’s credibility as an ally is on the line.”

“In the Middle East, she’ll push for a two-state solution that ensures lasting peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians, stand with Ukraine in its fight against Putin’s aggression, and support America’s role in NATO.”

“It also means we need to call out our own country’s actions. I oppose illegal and unnecessary wars. What’s happened in Iran and with the boats coming from Venezuela – and what this administration is hinting at with possible military action in Greenland and Cuba – is a dangerous abuse of power and violates international law. Bare minimum, we need congressional oversight and our international allies to agree before we go to war.”

“For too long, our foreign policy has prioritized military action over diplomacy – and we have indulged in alliances that provide some short term benefits over basic human rights.”
