America First Foreign Policy

Putting American citizens and interests first in all foreign policy decisions.

America First

Overview

Zakaria Kortam believes in America First foreign policy that prioritizes American citizens, strengthens our national security, and uses taxpayer dollars wisely. We must end endless wars, cut non-humanitarian foreign aid, and focus all resources on defending and improving America at home.

The Challenge

American foreign policy has too often been influenced by special interests and foreign governments rather than what serves American citizens. Trillions spent on overseas conflicts and non-essential foreign aid while our own borders, infrastructure, and citizens suffer.

The Solution

Bring our troops home from endless foreign wars. Cut all non-humanitarian foreign aid to redirect funds to American priorities. Focus military spending on defending American borders and homeland security. Work with allies only when it directly serves American interests.
