US Foreign Policy

National policies and strategies aimed at advancing US interests and safety of the American people. Since the 9/11 attacks, American foreign policy has been largely preoccupied with issues relating to global terrorism and extremism. In recent years, the Obama administration has also turned its focus to the Arab Spring and conflict resolution in the Middle East. Although the government has assumed a greater role in world affairs, its internal and external politics remain deeply intertwined.
