What is wrong with American foreign policy? You had to get used to but just to the idea that the United States could pull out under Donald Trump’s of the world political crisis herds back, on the subject of Afghanistan, keyword, Syria, keyword: “America First”. And then the. The President flies to Vietnam to work with the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un to his chances of winning the Nobel peace prize. At the same time be Vice travels to Colombia, the Opposition in Venezuela in their struggle against those in power, Nicolás Maduro, to assure the support of the us, possibly even with military means. This is now the new rule, or both, are the only foreign-policy exception to situations?

Bush, as the so-called Neocons in the White house, the foreign policy direction of the requirements. And after the Cold war, according to the request, the seal Failure of socialist ideas now.
however, this is to help the Americans in their quest, the Venezuelan Opposition and the self-appointed transitional President Juan Guaidó, not to stand alone. Like America have already recognized more than 50 countries Guaidó, the Democrats in Congress are largely behind the US strategy in Venezuela. Criticism comes only from the very left side.
