U.S. foreign policy
Washington's global stance
U.S. foreign policy refers to the strategies, goals, and actions the United States government pursues in its relations with other countries and international organizations.
It encompasses diplomacy, trade agreements, military intervention, foreign aid, and alliance building.
The policy is shaped primarily by the executive branch but requires Congressional cooperation for treaties and funding.
U.S. foreign policy has shifted dramatically between isolationism and interventionism over the past century.
Critics and supporters alike debate whether it advances democratic values or serves primarily economic and strategic interests.
