Introducing NatSec Allies

The United States faces growing threats to its national security and global leadership as attacks on longstanding institutions weaken stability, economic prosperity, and domestic safety.

In response to unprecedented layoffs across key agencies, NatSec Allies is building a coalition of professionals and everyday Americans from defense, veteran, foreign aid, and humanitarian fields to raise awareness of these risks. By highlighting the tangible dangers of U.S. withdrawal from global engagement, NatSec Allies fosters community understanding of why sustained investment in international stability is vital for American security and economic interests.

WHY IT MATTERS…

  • Geopolitical Power Vacuum

    Reductions in U.S. foreign aid and global engagement create opportunities for China and Russia to expand their influence, altering political landscapes and securing access to natural and human resources that could be used against American interests.

    Example: China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) has increased Beijing’s economic and strategic leverage in over 140 countries, displacing American influence in critical regions.

  • Increased Terrorist Threats

    The absence of U.S. leadership in fragile states can lead to the resurgence of extremist groups, directly endangering American interests at home and abroad.

    Example: The U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 has allowed groups like ISIS-K to strengthen their foothold, posing a renewed threat to regional and global stability.

  • Economic Consequences

    A retreat from international trade agreements and aid programs can limit market access for American companies and weaken the agricultural sector, which relies heavily on exports tied to foreign aid programs.

    Example: U.S. agricultural exports exceeded $177 billion in 2021, with foreign aid programs playing a crucial role in securing markets for American farmers.

  • Military & Intelligence Challenges

    Scaling back international alliances reduces U.S. strategic positioning, intelligence-sharing capabilities, and military preparedness.

    Example: The reduction of U.S. military bases abroad complicates rapid deployment and intelligence operations, making the nation more vulnerable to emergent threats.

  • Public Health & Pandemic Threats

    Pandemics and global health crises weaken national security by straining healthcare infrastructure, disrupting supply chains, and reducing military readiness. A lack of U.S. leadership in global health initiatives allows adversaries to expand their influence through vaccine diplomacy and medical aid.

    Example: During the COVID-19 pandemic, China's distribution of vaccines and medical supplies to developing nations bolstered its geopolitical influence, filling a gap left by reduced American engagement in global health efforts.

  • Loss of Talent and Cultural Capital

    Restrictive refugee policies hinder access to skilled labor and cultural expertise essential for national security and economic innovation.

    Example: Immigrants and refugees contribute significantly to sectors like STEM, where foreign-born workers make up nearly 25% of the U.S. workforce.
