WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement today after President Donald Trump announced his new National Security Strategy:

“I welcome President Trump’s announcement today of his new National Security Strategy, which signals the return of American leadership on the global stage. In contrast to the previous administration’s reluctance, this strategy charts a strong, new direction for the country and emphasizes the need to protect our nation’s interests.
