America First Policy Directive to the Secretary of State
January 20, 2025
This order calls for the Secretary of State to issue guidance explaining how the State Department will implement an "America First" foreign policy, and suggests that multilateralism and alliances are contrary to American interests. The order will weaken America's standing in the world. It will reduce other countries trust in the U.S., weaken relationships with our allies, and impact our ability to find common ground to solve pressing global issues, including on trade, climate change, nuclear security, and migration.
