The United States will carefully consider support for those in need when situations arise, but assistance should never be assumed—even by allies. Our guiding principle is that the well-being of people matters more than the status of governments or nations. We will prioritize actions that align with fairness, transparency, and the shared values of democracy and accountability.

Key Pillars of the Policy

1. People Over Politics

        •        Support Based on Values, Not Status: Assistance will not be guaranteed based on a country’s status as an ally. The focus will always be on the well-being, freedoms, and rights of the people—not the agenda of a government or ruling elite.

        •        Accountability Among Allies: Even allied nations must demonstrate a commitment to their people and shared principles. Partnerships are maintained through mutual respect, not blind allegiance.

2. Thoughtful and Flexible Assistance

        •        Case-by-Case Approach: Assistance will be considered based on specific circumstances, with careful evaluation to ensure alignment with democratic values, fairness, and genuine need.

        •        No Assumptions: Aid, collaboration, or intervention will never be automatic, ensuring that U.S. involvement is always deliberate and justified.

3. Empowerment Without Dependency

        •        Fostering Independence: Any support provided will aim to empower people and nations to build self-sufficiency rather than long-term reliance on external aid.

        •        Guidance, Not Guarantees: The U.S. will focus on empowering movements, nations, and coalitions that reflect a commitment to people-first governance and justice.

4. Shared Responsibility Through Collaboration

        •        Partnership-Driven Responses: Assistance will be coordinated through international alliances and regional coalitions, emphasizing shared responsibility for global challenges.

        •        Encouraging Regional Leadership: Regional allies will be encouraged to lead efforts in their own areas, with U.S. involvement focused on supporting broader collaboration.

How This Looks in Practice

        1.        Merit-Based Assistance: No nation—ally or otherwise—will assume U.S. support without demonstrating alignment with democratic values and people-centered governance.

        2.        Conditional Aid: Assistance will be tied to actions that improve transparency, accountability, and citizen well-being, ensuring that aid benefits the people rather than corrupt systems.

        3.        Coalition Collaboration: The U.S. will prioritize working with international and regional coalitions to respond to global challenges, reducing the risks of unilateral actions or overreach.

Conclusion: A People-First Policy That Benefits America

This foreign policy reflects the core values of fairness, transparency, and accountability. By focusing on case-by-case assistance and prioritizing the well-being of people over government agendas, the United States can ensure that its involvement abroad is both principled and effective.

This approach also reduces the financial burden of foreign aid on the American budget. By avoiding blanket commitments and ensuring that every dollar spent aligns with the values and goals of the American people, we free up resources to invest in our own economy and strengthen our nation. Together with the broader policies of the movement, this shift fosters both global fairness and domestic prosperity.
