Which of the following makes a true statement about U.S. foreign policy? It is the secretary of state who makes all the importan
t decisions related to foreign policy. One of its goals is to encourage other countries to make their governments more democratic. Congress believes foreign policy is more important than domestic policy and works on it first. The president usually tries to maintain isolation by sending ambassadors to other countries.
One statement that is generally true concerning U.S. foreign policy would be that "<span>One of its goals is to encourage other countries to make their governments more democratic," since this is in the best interest of the US in terms of national defense. </span>
<em>One of the main goals of US foreign policy is to 'build and sustain a more democratic, secure, and prosperous world for the benefit of the American people and the international community'.</em>
The Secretary of State does not make all the important decisions related to foreign policy. The President negotiates treaties with other nations, but they have to be ratified by the Senate. The domestic policy is always more important than the international one because it concerns the people who are already in the country, and it is the duty of Congress to take care of them first. Congress is the only branch of the government that has the authority to declare war.
