Demand Accountability and Informed Decision-Making in U.S. Foreign Policy
Related Article: How Trump's love for TV is shaping US diplomacy - thestar.com.my - Saturday, August 16, 2025, 10:51:08 PM Eastern Daylight Time
Target: U.S. Congress, White House, and Department of State
Goal: We call for immediate reforms to ensure that U.S. foreign policy decisions are grounded in thorough, evidence-based briefings and transparent processes, not dictated by television coverage or political theater.
The United States deserves leadership that makes critical diplomatic decisions based on comprehensive information, not just television images or sensationalized media. Our foreign policy impacts millions of lives worldwide, and it is imperative that those in power engage with facts, expert analysis, and the voices of affected communities.
Recent reports have highlighted a troubling trend: major U.S. foreign policy decisions are being shaped by what the President sees on television, rather than by expert briefings or the needs of vulnerable populations. This approach has led to inconsistent responses to humanitarian crises, such as the famine in Gaza, and has undermined the credibility of U.S. diplomacy on the world stage.
Relying on TV images and sensationalist media for policy guidance is insufficient and dangerous. The American people expect their leaders to be well-informed and to act in the best interests of global peace, justice, and human rights. We demand that our leaders engage with comprehensive intelligence, consult with humanitarian organizations, and prioritize evidence-based policy over media spectacle.
Key Demands
- Mandate that the President and senior officials attend regular, comprehensive intelligence and humanitarian briefings before making major foreign policy decisions.
- Establish transparent protocols for foreign policy decision-making that prioritize expert analysis and the perspectives of affected communities.
- Require public disclosure of the sources and rationale behind major diplomatic actions, especially those impacting vulnerable populations.
- Increase Congressional oversight of executive foreign policy actions to ensure accountability and evidence-based decision-making.
- Commit to centering human rights and humanitarian needs in all U.S. foreign policy deliberations.
