Top lawmakers on both sides of the Atlantic released a joint statement Friday calling for countries worldwide to reject isolationism and work together to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
The statement was signed by foreign affairs committee chairmen from the U.S., U.K., Germany and the European Union and stressed safeguarding transatlantic relationships built in the aftermath of World War II to combat threats posed by bad actors trying to exploit the health crisis.
"Would-be authoritarians and strongmen are using the crisis to consolidate power and crack down on the rights and freedoms of their people, political opponents, and the independent press. And proponents of closed, inward looking systems seek to blame this crisis on the openness of our democracies and the expansiveness of our global friendships. It is vitally important that we do not let them," the lawmakers wrote, without mentioning any countries or or leaders by name.
“We cannot allow ourselves to be consumed by the crisis we face and forget the history and friendship that have helped us prosper for decades, or we open the door for our adversaries to rewrite the rules in their own authoritarian images,” they added.
The statement was signed by House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-N.Y), European Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman David McAllister, German Bundestag Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Norbert Röttgen and Tom Tugendhat, chair of the U.K. House of Commons Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman James Risch (R-Idaho) was not a signatory to Friday's statement. The committee did not immediately respond to an inquiry about why he did not participate.

While others said this coronavirus would be the end of globalism I said globalists would re-write the narrative.
For globalists, free traders, and one-worlders this isn't a crisis. It's an opportunity.
The new narrative for the globalists is this is a fight against "authoritarians and strongmen" and the nations of the world must unite and reject "isolationism".
>The new narrative for the globalists is this is a fight against “authoritarians and strongmen” and the nations of the world must unite and reject “isolationism”.
Ironic because its the same thugs denying the civil rights of local citizenry.
So those voices are falling on deaf ears where I’m standing here.
I think there is strength in uniting to force China to contribute to the financial devastation it caused.
So 'transatlantic relationships' will live, locl economies and people will die.
And here (some of them) they are:
“Would-be authoritarians and strongmen are using the crisis to consolidate power and crack down on the rights and freedoms of their people, political opponents, and the independent press.”
.........
We know their implicit attack is aimed at Trump.
“First we must get rid of those nasty, bad guns in America”
Ef Europe.
“House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-N.Y)”
THE HILL’s definition of a “top U.S. lawmaker.” Ha!
Dead wrong.
Tedros holds that post because that is how WHO is constructed, and the WHO was constructed specifically with implementation of United Nations Agenda 21 in mind.
Next contestant.
One this issue, we agree .
I have long maintained this is a total globalist takeover by billionaires. We are definitely going to get a lot more globalism out of this. Not less.
What you said.
Possibly because calls for world authoritarianism aren't very popular in his home state?
Why don’t we just hand our national sovereignty over to the World Health Organization right now then?
Blatantly unconstitutional.
Our president has the executive powers, which include negotiations with foreign powers.
EU response: “Let America do it”
Well on one side of the Atlantic at any rate. A House committee chairman isn't a 'top lawmaker'.
