Target: US Congress, White House, and Department of State
Goal: Ensure that all discussions between US and Russian leaders are conducted transparently, with full accountability to the public and a commitment to upholding democratic values and international law.
The recent summit between President Trump and President Putin was described as 'extremely productive,' yet the details of their agreements remain vague. With ongoing conflict in Ukraine and concerns about human rights, democracy, and global security, it is essential that the American public is fully informed about the content and implications of these talks.
We are deeply concerned by the lack of transparency and the absence of clear commitments to peace, human rights, and democratic norms. International diplomacy should not be conducted behind closed doors, especially when it involves issues as critical as war, trade, and global cooperation.
We call on our elected officials to ensure that all negotiations with foreign powers are subject to robust oversight and that any agreements prioritize peace, human rights, and the well-being of people over corporate or geopolitical interests.
