Demand Accountability and Diplomacy, Not Self-Aggrandizement, in US Foreign Policy

President Donald Trump's repeated public statements about deserving the Nobel Peace Prize, coupled with his upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, raise serious concerns about the direction of US foreign policy. While President Trump touts his record of not deploying US soldiers abroad, true peace is built not on self-congratulation but on meaningful, transparent engagement with the international community and respect for human rights.

Europeans and global citizens alike are wary of any moves that could echo the appeasement policies of the past, which resulted in catastrophic consequences. We must ensure that US diplomacy is guided by the pursuit of justice, peace, and international solidarity, rather than the pursuit of personal awards or political gain.

We urge President Trump and the US government to:

• Engage in transparent diplomatic negotiations that prioritize peace and human rights.
• Consult with allies and affected communities before making major foreign policy decisions.
• Reject any actions that resemble appeasement of authoritarian regimes.
• Commit to multilateralism and the strengthening of international institutions.
• Publicly disclose the goals and outcomes of all high-level meetings with foreign leaders.

Our world needs leaders who put people and peace first. Sign this petition to demand accountability and real diplomacy from the US government.
