Sponsored By: Senator Lee, Mike [R-UT]

Introduced

Summary

Prioritizing bilateral security partnerships. This resolution would press the United States to favor one-on-one defense agreements, encourage small and medium states to choose the U.S. as their great power partner, and withdraw support from multilateral security bodies judged to undermine U.S. interests.

Show full summary
  • U.S. diplomats and defense planners would be pushed to pursue bilateral agreements that the resolution says provide more leverage and can be tailored to each partner.
  • Small and medium states would be the target of a U.S. push to become their ally of choice, with the resolution calling on the U.S. to use its power and influence to court those partners.
  • Multilateral institutions named in the resolution, including the United Nations, NATO, and the World Health Organization, would face pressure and possible withdrawal of U.S. backing when judged to conflict with U.S. interests. The resolution notes the U.S. historically pays about one third of the U.N. budget and contributed nearly one quarter of the World Health Organization's budget when it was a member.
