Citizens for Global Solutions applauds the formation of the American Engagement Caucus in the U.S. House of Representatives. The mission of the caucus will be “to bring together Members to sustain and advocate for U.S. engagement to tackle global challenges like terrorism and nuclear weapons; climate change and poverty; genocide and disease.” The Caucus believes that, “our security, our economic future, and safeguarding the world’s environment all depend on international cooperation. Working cooperatively with other nations and through the U.N. ensures that we do not have to carry all of the burden or take all of the risks for global security and progress.” The Caucus Co-Chairs will be Congressman Russ Carnahan (D-MO) and Congressman Anh “Joseph” Cao (R-LA).
