DA Statement on Defending U.S. Alliances


Democrats Abroad strongly supports the United States’ binding commitment to global allies who uphold democratic values and help make the U.S. - and the world - safer when we stand together.
 
Donald Trump is threatening the sovereignty of a fellow NATO partner, demonstrating to our closest allies that the U.S. is an untrustworthy actor, jeopardizing the world’s security, and emboldening authoritarian regimes. 

We reject Trump’s lawlessness, his “might makes right” approach, and his willingness to sacrifice global stability and destroy our relationship with partners simply for his own ego and greed. 
 
These actions not only make the world more dangerous, they also risk retaliatory measures that could directly harm millions of Americans living overseas. 
 
The United States’ role in global alliances such as NATO must be protected by Congress now.
