The first few weeks of the Trump administration have brought increased tensions with longtime allies, politicization of the military, and chaos from the White House down, leaving the United States isolated on the world stage. This abrupt shift will have dangerous repercussions for America’s security and prosperity. Congress must pick up the leadership mantle amid this grave global and domestic uncertainty.
Please join the Center for American Progress for a hybrid event with House Armed Services Committee Ranking Member Adam Smith (D-WA). The conversation, moderated by CAP Distinguished Senior Fellow Ambassador Patrick Gaspard, will focus on ways Congress can hold the Trump administration accountable and on how to articulate a better national security vision for Americans in the coming years.
