America needs to ‘reform, not retreat’ from global assistance programs, foreign policy organization says

Schrayer told Fox News Digital she has started taking these ideas to Capitol Hill and is meeting with lawmakers at the height of budget season, making the blueprint timely. 

While Schrayer is still gathering responses to the blueprint, she said one idea in particular has gotten wide support. USGLC is calling for the creation of an American brand or logo to let those receiving foreign assistance know where it’s coming from and who paid for it. She said that America’s enemies, like China, are not afraid to take credit for the assistance they provide, and it’s time for the U.S. to do the same.

“We should have one American flag with a tagline that says, ‘From the American people.’ Too often, when you go out, it’s a little bit confusing that it’s from the American people because sometimes you can go to a site, and you can see a lot of logos of what we’re doing. So, I think there’s a lot of consensus around that one in particular,” Schrayer said. 

USGLC said that it has gotten support for the blueprint from military leaders and national security experts.

“You’ve heard over and over again that nature abhors a vacuum; if we are not engaged, someone else will be. There are lots of countries that have lots more nefarious goals when they go out and engage,” former NATO Commander General Philip Breedlove said in a statement.
