US Foreign policy is what the United States of America does in foreign

countries. This may include setting new rules or even controlling the countries’ governments.

What the US does in other countries usually ends up creating a conflict or an uprising in the

The Israel Lobby, the fight against Wahhabism, and the exploitation of other

countries’ resources are only a few examples of US foreign policy. The US does so much

more stuff which cause instability and conflict and uprisings in these areas the US interferes

in. The US just has to interfere with all international affairs and it even interferes with

domestic affairs in countries which the US considers to be important. The US foreign policy

is primarily based on it keeping its global hegemony.
