WASHINGTON, D.C. – The President and CEO of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition, Liz Schrayer, released the following statement on the importance of providing personal protective equipment abroad:
As our country responds to the challenges of ensuring we provide critical personal protective equipment (PPE) to the heroic frontline workers at home, it is important to recognize the need to support vulnerable populations throughout the world.
As the U.S. reviews our policies and procedures, providing PPE to countries with weak and fragile health systems — where COVID-19 is spreading rapidly — is not only critical to saving lives but also preventing a rebound of the virus in the U.S.
Since 1995, the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition (USGLC.org) has been bringing together bipartisan political, military, business, farmer, faith, nonprofit, and community leaders from across the country to advocate on the strategic imperative of American leadership for advancing our own security, prosperity, and values. We believe that smart investments in international assistance and diplomacy, alongside defense, can make the world safer and America stronger.
