Response to Q1. President Trump’s diplomacy and foreign policy
Soon after joining the President office, Donald Trump started revising the foreign policies of the country based on his campaign “America First” and all of his politics seem consistent with the pre-election statements. All the diplomatic and foreign policy related decisions are going to bring controversial results. At the same time, the president does not stop passing controversial statements on social media. In my opinion, some of the revised immigration policies of the US under Trump's office term are not favorable. The travel ban on a few of the Muslim countries will have a negative impact on the foreign policy of the country. Globalization has brought the world closer and countries now prefer global trade. At the same time, promoting global governance based on collective decisions addresses global problems mutually. Therefore, standing alone will not help the US. Likewise, the reduction of contribution to Climate Fund by withdrawal from the Paris Agreement is an unfriendly behavior from the US Government (Chestnoy & Gershinkova, pp. 215-225).
The attitude of the President shows that he does not really care about what other countries think about the US. Moreover, foreign policies are developed and enhanced by mutual understanding. When it comes to the current government of the US, the situation is different. President Trump has his own political opinions and on the basis of that, he forms policies. In addition, the renegotiation of NAFTA was not mutual. The President was aiming to modify the agreement totally in favor of the United States. One-sided policies would not bring benefits to the country. However, joining international organizations and agreements will help the United States in difficult times. The economy of a country does not remain constant all the time and many times a country would be needing assistance from International organizations. Therefore, the US government should promote mutual benefits for its foreign policy instead of “America first" and remain connected to the international organizations.
