The United States has spent tens of billions in taxpayer dollars in the form of aid to Pakistan since 9/11, all in the hope that Pakistan would become a partner in the fight against terrorism. Unfortunately, despite this significant investment, Pakistani military and intelligence services are still linked to terrorist groups. While the administration and the Pakistanis argue that there have been some successes in the fight against terrorist elements, particularly in Shawal Valley, terrorist organizations with close ties to Pakistan's military elite have been left untouched to the point of...

The state of Israel has always been surrounded by threats since its existence-threats by nations and terror groups that hate Israel because it is a Jewish state. The goal of these actors has been to eliminate the state of Israel, an aggression started as soon as Israel became an established state. Arab armies amassed on its borders to destroy it. Israel has continued to exist in the face of suicide bombers and terrorist onslaughts like no country in history. In recent years, the threats to Israel have increased. The volatile situation in Syria and its transformation into a full blown...

In 1962, the United States imposed a trade embargo on Cuba. Fifty-four years later, Cuba is still communist and the Castros are still in charge. But it has succeeded-this policy-in hurting U.S. agricultural business. In December 2014, the administration announced that the U.S. would take steps to normalize the U.S.-Cuba relationship. Cuba was removed from the state sponsor of terrorists list. A U.S. Embassy was opened in Havana. The Department of Treasury and Commerce rolled out three rounds of trade reforms. But it is Congress alone than can lift the embargo on Cuba. The United States used...

Since the U.S.-led NATO intervention in 2011, Libya has completely spiraled out of control and has become a regional and international security threat. The regime of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi helped in the fight against international terrorism. That is not to say that Gaddafi was a good guy. He was a ruthless dictator who sponsored terrorism in the 1980s. But Gaddafi eventually realized that he was the target of terrorists himself and he changed course to side with us against the cancer of terrorism. By 2008, U.S. military leaders were calling Libya a top U.S. ally in combating...

In a landmark referendum, British citizens chose to reclaim their economic independence by withdrawing from the European Union. In the wake of Brexit, it is important to preserve, as Winston Churchill noted, "the special relationship between the United States and the United Kingdom." For over 200 years the U.S. and the U.K. have partnered economically to preserve peace and security worldwide. From the trenches of World War I to the mountains of Afghanistan, men and women in both countries have spilled blood together on the battlefield. A trade deal represents another opportunity to deepen...

In 2015, Iran and six major world powers reached an agreement regarding its nuclear program. That deal was a result of a decade of tough U.S. and international sanctions placed on the Iranian regime because of its nuclear ambitions. The mullahs in Tehran felt the pain of sanctions. That is why they came to the negotiating table. The deal that the Obama administration brokered turns out to be seriously flawed. For starters, the deal simply put Iran's nuclear plans on hold for 10 to 15 years. After that time, Iran is free to develop a nuclear weapon. Even worse, the deal did not address Iran's...

American military technology and manufacturing are the best in the world. For the last seventy years, the sale of American equipment to partner nations has formed the foundation of many U.S. security relationships. Foreign military sales (FMS) represent a key tool in the American foreign policy that provides needed security assistance to partners and allies around the world. The sale of U.S. hardware bolsters the American industrial base. It creates thousands of high-paying, high skill jobs while reducing the cost of innovative technologies that keep the U.S. and its allies one step ahead of...
