America Has Worst Foreign Policy In The Decade

America is Superpower in the world and America has more power to influence the world. But America is losing its glory because of its Foreign Policy.

I don’t know what American president thinks by sitting in a white house. He runs the country like a businessman by making policies like America first and imposing taxes without consultation.

America is on the back foot. American foreign policy is the primary reason behind it.

America’s shattered china policy

America helped china back in the 70s to tackle soviet union, yet it was good and the American presidents helped china to increase its trade business after 1980.

before 1980 china was a poor country with no or less infrastructure and America saw China as a potential partner during the cold war.

When cold war over and because of the free trade environment between countries, the dragon started spreading its roots throughout the world and made over 12 trillion dollars economy.

During Obama presidency relations between America and China were neutral and Obama succeed to pull them down as possible.

But when Donald Trump became president, he started out their America first policy and started a trade war with China.

America’s trade policy is worst for its local companies and citizens. China manufactures produce most of the world’s raw material for product development and has the upper hand in trade relations with other countries.

When Trump started imposing taxes on Chinese products and china did the same but it results in an increase in the price of necessary products which are the backbone of American citizen’s life.

President Trump is using America First policy for their personal political advancement and benefits. Negotiation is the best way to handle china.

America is not taking any actions against Chinese aggression in the Pacific region. The Chinese army is attacking smaller island and American president were busy in tweeting about their home affairs.

Finally, America doesn’t have a good foreign policy framework against china.

Relations with middle east

America intervened much in the middle east between 2000 and 2016 but after the collapse of ISI American troops leave that country with political gap and this can lead to civil wars between middle east countries.

American foreign policy giving Israel their favour and successful to make Israel-UAE deal. but many middle east countries have Israel as their common enemy and American army is present in the middle east. Countries like Saudi Arabia who have American defence deal does not like America’s unpredictable attempt to favour Israel.

America is losing its roots in the middle east, and these countries started looking at Russia for military help.

America has used the middle east for its international politics and for oil industries. But American foreign policy failed to handle middle east politics.

America failed to stop the oil war

After the collapse of the soviet union, Russia becomes less powerful as it was in the Soviet era. America left as a single superpower in the world and attempted to control the world.

But after the rise of china things went wrong and now Trump is trying to tilt Russia towards him by inviting them to join G7.

But Russia favouring china. china investing in Russia more and Russia gets china’s oil market.

America heated worst when oil war happened between Saudi Arabia and Russia. Most of the American companies are in negative profit. American foreign policy failed to stop the oil war and Russia started aggressive behaviour with Chinese support.

American President Act as a businessman and not as President

America has the largest army in the world and it provides security to many countries in the world, including South Korea and Japan.

America has its military presence in the south china sea and in South Korea to tackle Nuclear weapon country North Korea.

Now Trump is planning to earn some extra bucks by pressuring South Korea in the name of a defence pact. It is wrong as foreign policy because If south Korea refuses US security in future then it will be tough for the USA to control south china sea and china will become more aggressive there.

Trump thinking like a businessman when he becomes President of the USA. He is a businessman in president cloths.

America has lost its influence in the world because of directionless foreign policy. I hope that the next president will learn from this and will make excellent decisions.
