Supporting Israel
On October 7, Israel experienced the most tragic day in its history. Terrorists mercilessly slaughtered innocent civilians, taking hundreds hostage and committing the most evil and unimaginable crimes against humanity. Israel has every right and a moral duty to defend the Jewish people against attacks by Hamas, Hezbollah, and other Iranian terror proxies with lethal military force. America must continue to stand with Israel in its time of need. We applaud and support the Trump Administration in its mission to expand the Abraham Accords and advance peace in the Middle East.
Deterring Iran
On day one, the Biden Administration abandoned the ‘Maximum Pressure’ campaign and re-embraced Obama-era policies that empowered Tehran. They orchestrated unprecedented sanctions relief on the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, providing the regime access to over $100 billion dollars via oil sales and ransom payments. Much of this funding was diverted to Hamas and Hezbollah for their attacks on Israel. But President Trump’s national security team is putting Iran’s leaders on notice, showing that its proxy wars won’t be tolerated, and that America and Israel will never allow them to acquire a nuclear weapon. Americans should cheer on the Trump Administration as it advances the Maximum Pressure Campaign on the Islamic Republic of Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
Securing the Border
The United States was built by immigrants. But the failed border policies of the Biden Administration were anything but compassionate to Americans, legal immigrants, and even illegal migrants trafficked by cartels. The Biden White House was derelict in its constitutional duty and dangerously exposed our homeland to terrorists and criminals eagerly exploiting open borders. Thankfully, President Trump is working to restore our sovereignty, deliver law and order, and bring integrity to our immigration system because he knows that America’s national security starts at home.
Defending America
The Biden Administration’s military budgets consistently fell short of our security needs. Accounting for inflation, they asked Congress to cut defense spending four years in a row even as threats from abroad increased. Thankfully, the Trump Administration is already leading historic investments in our military readiness to revitalize our defense industrial base and secure America’s freedom for the next generation. It is also working to restore public trust in the military apolitical ethos by refocusing on lethality and eliminating divisive distractions. We must continue to ensure the U.S. military remains the world’s largest and most powerful to keep the peace with American strength.
Beating China
Americans know the CCP is the greatest danger to the United States since the Soviet Union. It aims to undermine the democratic rules of the road which America and its allies have upheld since World War II and replace them with communist authoritarianism and military coercion. Unfortunately, Biden’s China strategy did little to stall the CCP’s rise because believed America should use accommodation to manage competition with China rather than win the new Cold War with strength and deterrence. The Trump Administration is determined to keep the peace, but it also understands that policies aimed at avoiding conflict often set the conditions for conflict.
Unleasing U.S. Energy
President Biden’s war on energy had disastrous consequences for the American consumer and our economy. Rather than increasing U.S. production, he adopted policies that raised gas prices, forcing us to beg other leaders to pump more oil. That folly was on full display when the White House blocked the Keystone Pipeline’s completion while permitting Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline. President Trump is bringing an end to these misguided attacks on America’s energy industry, but we must redouble efforts to protect our homeland by decreasing U.S. reliance on China’s critical minerals supply and strengthening our supply chains through innovative partnerships abroad and fierce deregulation at home.
The Americas First
For decades, dictatorships in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua have subjected millions of freedom-loving Latinos to socialist nightmares marked by economic collapse, human rights atrocities, and political repression. Patronized by Russia and China, their leaders have gifted America’s worst rivals outposts in our hemisphere to surveil the homeland, threaten the Panama Canal, isolate Taiwan diplomatically, and extend their regional influence. The United States must hold these repressive regimes to account, protect our friends in the region, and treat the regimes of Cuba and Venezuela as the pariahs they are. America’s security begins in the Americas.
Halting European Wars
The Biden Administration failed at one of the most important tasks facing American presidents since 1945: preventing wars of conquest on the European continent. The war should never have started and with the right policies could have delivered Ukrainian victory far sooner. Instead, Europe remains stuck in its most significant land war in generations three years later. President Trump is determined to restore peace and bring a prompt end to this war. Russia must be deterred from returning to the battlefield – and European nations must do their part by stepping up their defenses rather than free-riding on NATO and the American taxpayer.
