How This Impacts Americans
Potential effects on citizens and communities
If the Safer Skies Act of 2025 becomes law, it would likely reduce the United States' involvement and influence in international peacekeeping operations. This could make it harder for the UN and other organizations to maintain stability and security in regions experiencing conflict, as the U.S. is a major financial contributor to these missions. Civilians living in these conflict zones could be negatively impacted if peacekeeping forces are less able to protect them.
