Peace Through Strength (Freedom Focus)This week's analysis and advocacy: Peace in the Middle East, sanctions on Russia and holding China accountable |
Greetings from everyone here at Advancing American Freedom. As we strive to defend traditional conservative values and promote the policies that make our nation great, we’re especially focused on the international relationships shaping the world stage. Now, more than ever, we must remain focused on dealing with our adversaries — whether it be China or Russia — with strength and fortitude. America must take up its position as a strong, unwavering power that stands for the ideas that help our allies and us become more prosperous and secure.
Confronting China by Taking on TikTok Yesterday, AAF Founder Mike Pence joined CNBC’s Squawk Box to discuss, among other things, the growing threat of China and its usage of the platform TikTok. As we’ve reported before, TikTok is no mere app — it’s a propaganda machine that targets American youth for the sake of indoctrination by the CCP. President Trump has stood up to China before, but his repeated delays to force the sale or ban of TikTok have led to valid concerns over his approach towards President Xi and the Chinese Communist Party. We call on the administration to act accordingly to ensure the safety of our citizens by holding China accountable.
VP Pence: After Five Years, the Abraham Accords Still Point to Peace Five years on, the Abraham Accords stand as one of the most consequential foreign policy achievements of our time—delivering real peace, prosperity, and progress in a region long plagued by conflict.
Vice President Mike Pence wrote an op-ed featured in Fox News this week that emphasized how the bold leadership of the Trump-Pence years have endured, linking Israel with Arab nations through billions in trade, direct flights, and unprecedented people-to-people ties. These aren’t just diplomatic gestures—they’re the foundations of a lasting peace.
Now, with a new opportunity ahead, the U.S. must reignite that momentum. Expanding the circle—especially bringing Saudi Arabia into the fold—could transform the region for generations. The path forward is clear: deepen ties, defend our friends, and finish the job the Trump administration started. Peace through strength isn’t just a slogan—it’s a strategy that works.

President Trump Must Hold Putin Accountable As reported this week in The Hill, AAF urged immediate action on the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2025. This bill, which would slap 500% tariffs on countries purchasing Russian oil, represents a bold and necessary move to isolate Vladimir Putin’s regime economically. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has dragged on for years, leaving a trail of devastation and war crimes. Now is the time for America to act with moral clarity and economic force to end this aggression.
President Trump has consistently fought for peace in Eastern Europe, even as Putin has responded with further escalation and deception. While the president has used strategic pressure, including tariffs on India, more must be done to force Putin’s hand. Congress has a role to play — and passing this legislation is how they can back up the president’s peace efforts.
With overwhelming bipartisan support — 100 co-sponsors in the House and 85 in the Senate — this is the most unified front yet against Russia’s brutal war machine. Sponsored by members Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, the Sanctioning Russia Act offers an unprecedented opportunity to cut off the cash flowing into Putin’s war chest. AAF is calling on Speaker Johnson and Leader Thune to move this bill without delay. The world is watching — and Ukraine can’t wait.
JOIN US: Free Markets and The Fed Webinar Long considered the cornerstone of U.S. economic stability, the Fed is facing renewed scrutiny as its policies have failed to curb inflation. From the 2008 housing collapse to the post-COVID inflation spike—the worst in forty years—the Fed’s decision making has raised serious questions about the long-term consequences of its approach.
Now, as President Trump intensifies political pressure on the Fed to slash interest rates in support of his tariff-heavy economic strategy—going so far as to threaten the removal of Chair Jerome Powell—the stakes for the future of the Fed and our economy couldn’t be higher.
Join us on September 25th at 2:00PM for an important conversation with Lydia Mashburn Newman, a veteran of both federal financial regulation and monetary reform, as we tackle the future of the Federal Reserve and the path toward a more stable, accountable monetary system.
With thanks,
Tim Chapman
