Exclusive – The United States is currently contending with a growing array of threats that jeopardize national security.
The United States Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC) has introduced a strategic framework designed to enhance U.S. involvement in international aid programs, aiming to uphold American leadership globally.
“Our goal was to create a roadmap for how America can maintain its edge on the world stage,” a spokesperson noted, highlighting the competitive landscape involving nations like China and Russia.

In “America’s Blueprint for Winning the World,” USGLC offers ten recommendations tailored for the Trump administration and Congress, emphasizing the necessity of international support for Americans. This plan advocates for transforming U.S. international aid programs rather than cutting them.
“These resources align with President Trump’s approach to peace through strength, effectively placing America at the forefront of assistance initiatives,” the spokesperson explained. “This isn’t about withdrawing; it’s about reforming.”
Schrayer elaborated that the blueprint reflects Secretary Marco Rubio’s aspirations to utilize international aid to bolster the nation’s strength, security, and prosperity. Furthermore, it echoes Trump’s philosophy of asserting peace through strategic positioning.
The ten recommendations put forth by USGLC include harnessing private sector capabilities, fostering “shared burdens” among allies, and aligning U.S. support with strategic interests. The organization stresses a balanced approach, targeting not just offensive but also defensive measures to bolster U.S. influence.

Schrayer shared that she has been actively discussing these proposals with lawmakers, making it pertinent given the budget season that’s currently underway.
While feedback on the blueprint is still being gathered, one particular idea appears to have garnered broad support. USGLC is advocating for foreign aid initiatives to prominently display American branding, highlighting who funded them and where they originated, similar to tactics used by competitors like China.
“We should mark our support clearly,” Schrayer added, noting that it often gets lost in translation that aid comes from American taxpayers.
USGLC backs this blueprint, which has the endorsement of military and security professionals.
“Nature abhors a vacuum. If we aren’t involved, then others with less benevolent motives will fill that space,” cautioned former NATO commander Philip Breedlove.
