General Laura J. Richardson, Co-Chair of USGLC's National Security Advisory Council, joined CNN to discuss her visit to Capitol Hill last week with a delegation of nearly a dozen three- and four-star generals and admirals. They made the case for why strategic, cost-effective investments in international assistance are key to outcompeting China, preventing threats from reaching U.S. shores, strengthening our economy, and keeping America safe. With decades of military leadership, including her time as Commander of U.S. Southern Command, Richardson emphasized that "the military instrument of national power is not the only instrument that keeps Americans safe." She stressed the need to pair military strength with diplomacy and international assistance to build strategic relationships and foster goodwill—ultimately making America #SaferStronger and more prosperous.
