 E Pluribus Unum
If we take E Pluribus Unum seriously as a motto, it also points beyond political alliances to a spiritual role that America has charted for itself: to lead towards increasingly greater wholes, especially ones that are more integrated, healthy, and inclusive.
Politically, aligning with E Pluribus Unum means that we need to continue to strengthen global accords, agreements, alliances, partnerships, and development.
Spiritually, aligning with E Pluribus Unum means we need to outgrow seeing ourselves primarily as Americans and begin to foster a sense of ourselves as global citizens.

 E Pluribus Unum - Origin and Meaning of the Motto Carried by the American Eagle
"E Pluribus Unum" was suggested by the committee Congress appointed on July 4, 1776 to design "a seal for the United States of America." The below sketch of their design accompanied a detailed description of their idea for the new nation's official emblem.
E Pluribus Unum describes an action: Many uniting into one.* An accurate translation of the motto is "Out of many, one" – a phrase that elegantly captures the symbolism on the shield.
By weaving together symbolic elements from each committee, Charles Thomson created a Great Seal that is itself an example of E pluribus unum: a synthesis of ideas and images.

I would ask the President to apply those goals to our foreign policy and invest most in those friendly countries that best support our own values and goals, and build strong multilateral partnerships with those friends to ensure our future.
All in favor of unilateralism, please recall once again that E Pluribus Unum is as multilateral as it gets.
Previously this statement said "I am saying that we should exert our power unilaterally only under extenuating circumstances to protect ourselves, as we did post September 11."

Language Log: E pluribus unum: a Latin quiz
Recently The Economist, in the course of an editorial arguing that the EC is too diverse a collection of nations to be politically unified, used a waggish subhead created by switching around the USA's motto E pluribus unum ("out of many, one").
If that's grammatical at all in Latin, it has the same meaning as the original; it doesn't mean "out of one, many", though it was intended to suggest that thought to the English-speaking reader.
