Trump, Musk, and the Looming National Security Crisis
President Trump’s early actions, including withdrawing from the Paris Agreement and the WHO, directly threaten national security by ignoring the critical threats of climate change and pandemics. Catastrophic climate events and the ongoing threat of global pandemics, such as the spreading bird flu, are already causing significant damage and loss of life. Trump’s response, characterized by denial and the termination of crucial initiatives, exacerbates these risks. His policies prioritize short-sighted gains over vital investments in climate adaptation and pandemic preparedness, leaving the nation vulnerable to future crises.
