USGLC

Uniting bipartisan political, business, and military leaders around the imperative of U.S. global leadership to build a better world and a stronger America.

[USGLC @USGLC]

“It should be concerning to all of us in this room that, as we sit here today, there are over 100 embassies around the world that do not have a confirmed United States ambassador.”

- Former Head of Central Command, General Joseph Votel at #ImpactForum2026

[USGLC @USGLC]

Bipartisan Members of Congress agree: American leadership is critical for America to win at home and abroad.

Thank you Senator @JerryMoran and @SenatorShaheen for raising the important issue of Ambassador vacancies.

[USGLC @USGLC]

“You joined me when you were a member of the Senate in the Paul Simon Water for the World effort to bring clean drinking water and sanitation to some of the poorest people on earth. We've reached 76 million people with water, 58 million with sanitation.”

Thank you @SenatorDurbin for your longstanding support for U.S. investments in live-saving water and sanitation programs.

[USGLC @USGLC]

Today on Capitol Hill @SenatorCollins emphasized the importance of restoring U.S. funding for @gavi:

“GAVI, as you well know, plays a critical role in preventing the spread of infectious diseases around the globe and helps to protect public health in our country as well by stopping outbreaks before they reach our borders.”

@RepNateMoran Thank you for joining us at #ImpactForum2026!

[Congressman Nathaniel Moran @RepNateMoran]

Honored to join @USGLC's 2026 Impact Forum—strong American leadership internationally means increased national security, economic growth domestically, and increased influence that benefits America and leads to more opportunity and liberty for all.

The strong, steady, ruggedly individual, liberty-loving voice of East Texans should reverberate in every corner of this world.

[USGLC @USGLC]

“South Korea used to be an aid recipient... At one time, South Korea's economy was smaller than North Korea's. Today, South Korea is not only not a recipient, South Korea is the ninth largest economy in the world and they are a donor state. “

@SecRubio on the role of international assistance in building U.S. trading partners.

[USGLC @USGLC]

“We face a more complex set of international challenges than any time since World War Two.”

“Soft power to me is still power, there are limits to hard power and soft power has the potential to make us safer in very troubled parts of the world.”

Chairman @LindseyGrahamSC in conversation today with @SecRubio on Capitol Hill.

[USGLC @USGLC]

Today in the House Foreign Affairs Committee @RepYoungKim and @SecRubio underscore America’s “all of the above” strategy to win the critical minerals race.

The same message bipartisan leaders from across the country are carrying to Capitol Hill today for USGLC's #ImpactForum2026

[USGLC @USGLC]

“When America leads, the world is safer, it's freer, and it's more prosperous… Reagan called it peace through strength, but it starts with peace through presence.”

- @RepNateMoran (R-TX) at #ImpactForum2026

[USGLC @USGLC]

“Investing in diplomacy and development helps us compete against countries like China who are absolutely investing in their influence around the world.”

Thank you @SenLBR for meeting with @USGLC leaders today on Capitol Hill. With 20% of Delaware’s jobs connected to global markets, strategic investments in diplomacy and international assistance aren’t just nice-to-haves. They drive our economic security at home, and advance our values abroad. #ImpactForum2026 🇺🇸

[USGLC @USGLC]

Georgia is a hub for global health innovation — saving lives, creating jobs, and advancing our values. Today Georgia leaders met with @SenOssoff to underscore how smart investments in diplomacy, international assistance, and global health leadership delivers for the world and for Georgians here at home. 🇺🇸 #ImpactForum2026

[Kevin Wensing @Kevin_Wensing]

Thank you @SenToddYoung for your commitment and time today with USGLC leaders from Indiana who underscored how smart investments in U.S. diplomacy and international assistance can make the world better and America stronger. #ImpactForum2026

[USGLC @USGLC]

In a new op-ed, Admiral Gordon Russell, a member of USGLC's Veterans for Smart Power network, warns that more than a dozen vacant U.S. ambassador posts across the Western Hemisphere are creating openings for China to expand its influence at our expense—putting Colorado's economy, trade relationships, and supply chains at risk.

Read the message he’s bringing to Washington at this week's #ImpactForum2026.

Great to join @USGLC alongside Kansans who know that what happens around the world affects us here at home — from the markets our farmers sell into to the prices families pay at the store.

Strong American leadership makes Kansas stronger.

[Liz Schrayer @LizSchrayer]

Inspired to hear so many stories yesterday at #ImpactForum2026 of how international assistance not only saves lives -- which, of course, it does -- but makes America safer, stronger, and more prosperous here at home.

[USGLC @USGLC]

Colorado leaders met with @SenatorHick's team today to share real stories of how American leadership through diplomacy and international assistance saves lives, empowers communities, and advances American interests. #ImpactForum2026
