Standing Strong with our Allies (Freedom Focus)
What is the agenda for freedom, security, and prosperity across the globe?
|
This week, we join many in mourning the loss of the great American patriot Dick Cheney, who served faithfully as a Congressman, Secretary of Defense, and Vice President. His influence as a statesman was profound, and his legacy of strength and leadership will not soon be forgotten.
We’re also focused on our alliances across the global stage — and how we can work together to create a world that is more prosperous and free.
Stop China - Say No to Price Controls
Earlier this week, AAF launched a six-figure ad campaign criticizing the use of Most Favored Nation policies. By enacting socialist-style price controls on products like pharmaceuticals, American innovation is put at risk. As companies relocate operations to China, where testing and production standards are less rigorous, the United States faces increased economic and strategic vulnerability. AAF is working to ensure America remains the global leader in innovation by urging Congress to defend our national interests and counter the growing threat posed by China.

Vice President Pence Delivers Foreign Policy Speech at Chatham House in London
AAF Founder Mike Pence delivered a speech while visiting the United Kingdom this week at Chatham House — one of the world’s leading organizations focused on international relations. The Vice President emphasized the importance of U.S.-U.K. relations and addressed the growing threats of China and Russia. He highlighted the need — now more than ever — for America to stand tall on the world stage, leading our allies with strength instead of weakness.

America Stands with Israel
Israel stands as the single vibrant democracy in a region dominated by authoritarian and Islamic states — yet it endures, and in doing so helps safeguard the United States. While a faction of the New Right has started to champion isolationism, the reality is clear: when Israel takes the fight to Hamas or Hezbollah, it makes America safer.
As Vice President Pence wrote today in Fox News, our alliance endures not merely because it is strategically essential, but because it rests on the shared values of faith, liberty, and a long American tradition of supporting the Jewish people. Our founders made clear that they should have a land to return to — paving the way to make that vision a reality. Today, as sentiments of antisemitism arise on the Left and Right, we must make clear that America unapologetically stands with Israel.

Remembering Vice President Dick Cheney
Yesterday, figures from across the aisle gathered to remember one of the most influential public servants of our era. Dick Cheney stood as one of the most consequential Vice Presidents in history — spending a lifetime devoted to the American people. A steadfast patriot, he upheld conservative ideals and emphasized the importance of a strong national defense throughout his remarkable career. From his roles in Congress to serving as White House Chief of Staff, Secretary of Defense, and ultimately the 46th Vice President, his enduring commitment to the nation leaves a legacy that will not be forgotten.
