Mikie Sherrill on Foreign Policy

 

 


Most important national security tool is diplomacy

The most important tool in our national security toolbox is diplomacy. I support a fully-staffed State Department to carry out the hard, necessary work of strategic diplomacy. The cuts to the State Department prevent us from dealing with developing international crises, strengthening partnerships, or applying pressure to bad actors.

Maintain our long-standing relationship with Israel

The only way the United States will be able to face these challenges is through strengthening our relationships with our traditional allies. This must include Israel. Our partnership with Israel is instrumental to global security and has helped pioneer incredible discoveries that have changed the face of technology, homeland security, medicine, clean energy, and agriculture. In Congress I will work to ensure that our long-standing relationship with Israel remains strong.
