Oppose Matt Whitaker for NATO Ambassador
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is a military alliance established in 1949 to ensure collective defense, promote security, and prevent aggression among its member states. The alliance deters external threats, fosters stability, and facilitates cooperation on defense and political matters among member nations.
Matthew Whitaker, nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as the U.S. Permanent Representative to NATO, is a staunch Trump loyalist willing to carry out and obey Trump’s worst instincts. Whitaker briefly served as the Acting US Attorney General during the first Trump administration, but has no foreign policy or military experience. When Trump announced Whitaker’s appointment, he praised Whitaker’s loyalty and willingness to pursue an America First doctrine. Whitaker’s job would include maintaining support for Ukraine’s war with Russia, a policy stance that now seems tenuous after the shocking recent developments in US-Ukraine relations.
Whitaker cannot provide the kind of competent, experienced leadership essential to ensuring that US foreign policy continues to align with our European allies’ interests. Trump’s appointment of a weak, ineffective representative like Whitaker signals that the administration is moving full steam ahead to cater to Russian interests.

Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I’m calling to demand [SEN NAME] vote against the confirmation of Matthew Whitaker for Permanent Representative to NATO. He is an unqualified loyalist without foreign policy experience whose appointment will continue to solidify Trump’s loyalty to Russia and hostility toward Ukraine and our European allies.
Furthermore, I demand that you voice your strong support for NATO and stand up for the cooperative security organization responsible for maintaining peace and stability in Europe.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
