**Top Democrats Accuse Trump and Musk of Endangering US Security**
Top Democratic lawmakers have accused President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk of threatening the national security of the United States. In a statement issued on March 4, they said that since taking office, Trump has alienated nearly every international partner and ally.
The statement was signed by leading congressional Democrats on military, intelligence, and foreign policy committees. It came just hours before Trump’s major address to a joint session of Congress.
According to the statement, Trump has shown more alignment with Russian President Vladimir Putin than with long-standing partners and allies. This is despite Russia being a threat to international rules-based order.
The statement criticized Trump’s decision to halt all military aid to Ukraine, which it said demonstrated his alliance with Moscow over Kyiv. It also condemned Musk for directing mass terminations of federal workers as the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
**US Security in Danger**
Democrats say that the firings weakened the country’s ability to respond to international crises. They are calling on others to take action to defend US security interests against threats from the administration.
“We need partners and allies to effectively address the multitude of national security threats we face,” the statement reads. “Yet, Trump has shown more alignment with Vladimir Putin than with our long-standing partners and allies.”
**Recent Kremlin-Friendly Moves**
The decision to suspend aid to Ukraine was one of several recent moves that have raised concerns about Trump’s loyalty to US interests. The White House is also considering lifting sanctions imposed against Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.
Democrats are urging others to join them in defending the country’s system of government and security interests before it’s too late.
