US Foreign Policy

US Foreign Policy refers to the strategies and actions adopted by the United States government in its interactions with other countries and international organizations. It encompasses a wide range of issues, including diplomacy, military engagements, trade agreements, humanitarian aid, and international law. The primary goals of US foreign policy are to protect national security interests, promote economic prosperity, uphold democratic values, and enhance the country’s influence on global affairs. This policy is shaped by various factors, including historical experiences, national interests, public opinion, and the geopolitical landscape. Key components often include the establishment of alliances, participation in international treaties, responses to global crises, and the promotion of human rights and democracy abroad. The direction and execution of US foreign policy are determined by the President, the Secretary of State, and other key officials, often with input from Congress and feedback from various stakeholders, including think tanks and the public.
