information to undermine democracies and polarize societies. We are doing so by working with
governments, civil society, independent media, and the private sector to prevent credible
information from being crowded out, exposing disinformation campaigns, and strengthening the
integrity of the media environment - a bedrock of thriving democracies. Together with our allies
and partners, we are also holding states accountable for violations and abuses of human rights,
including against ethnic and religious minorities, treating the fight against corruption as the core
national security interest it is, countering transnational repression, and standing with people
around the world on the front lines of the fight for dignity, equality and justice. We reaffirm our
commitment to work with the international community to achieve sustainable, long-term
solutions to what is the most severe refugee crisis since World War Two—including through
resettlement. We raised our annual refugee admissions cap to 125,000 and are rebuilding and
improving the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program to enable us to achieve that goal.
An Inclusive World
The vast majority of countries want a stable and open rules-based order that respects their
sovereignty and territorial integrity, provides a fair means of economic exchange with others and
promotes shared prosperity, and enables cooperation on shared challenges. They strongly
disapprove of aggression, coercion, and external interference. They have no interest in
overturning longstanding rules and norms to make the world safe for aggression and repression.
We will help construct and preserve coalitions that engage all of these countries and leverage
their collective strengths. We recognize that some may harbor reservations about American
power and our foreign policy. Others may not be democratic but nevertheless depend upon a
rules-based international system. Yet what we share in common, and the prospect of a freer and
more open world, makes such a broad coalition necessary and worthwhile. We will listen to and
consider ideas that our partners suggest about how to do this.
Building this inclusive coalition requires reinforcing the multilateral system to uphold the
founding principles of the United Nations, including respect for international law. 141 countries
expressed support at the United Nations General Assembly for a resolution condemning Russia’s
unprovoked aggression against Ukraine. We continue to demonstrate this approach by engaging
all regions across all issues, not in terms of what we are against but what we are for. This year,
we partnered with ASEAN to advance clean energy infrastructure and maritime security in the
region. We kickstarted the Prosper Africa Build Together Campaign to fuel economic growth
across the continent and bolster trade and investment in the clean energy, health, and digital
technology sectors. We are working to develop a partnership with countries on the Atlantic
Ocean to establish and carry out a shared approach to advancing our joint development,
economic, environmental, scientific, and maritime governance goals. We galvanized regional
action to address the core challenges facing the Western Hemisphere by spearheading the
Americas Partnership for Economic Prosperity to drive economic recovery and by mobilizing the
region behind a bold and unprecedented approach to migration through the Los Angeles
Declaration on Migration and Protection. In the Middle East, we have worked to enhance
deterrence toward Iran, de-escalate regional conflicts, deepen integration among a diverse set of
partners in the region, and bolster energy stability.
A prime example of an inclusive coalition is IPEF, which we launched alongside a dozen
regional partners that represent 40 percent of the world’s GDP. This framework’s four pillars—
trade and the digital economy, supply chains and resilience, clean energy and decarbonization,
