Answer:  Secretary of State

Further context/detail:

The office of Secretary of State is the USA's cabinet-level official in charge of foreign relations and foreign policy.  In other countries, a similar position would be called "Minister of Foreign Affairs."

John Foster Dulles was Secretary of State under President Eisenhower.  He held the office from 1953 to 1959.  He wanted a change from what had been the "containment policy" which the US had followed during the Truman Administration, as recommended then by American diplomat George F. Kennan.   Dulles felt the containment approach put the United States in a weak position, because it only was reactive, trying to contain  communist aggression when it occurred.

Dulles sought to push America's policy in a more active direction; some have labeled his approach "brinksmanship."  In an article in LIFE magazine in 1956, Dulles said, "The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art."  He wasn't afraid to threaten massive retaliation against communist enemy countries as a way of intimidating them.

posledela
Leading up to this war between England the new nation, the United States, was the conflict between two European powers, France & England. Napolean of France dominated the European continent & the British dominated the sea with its superior Navy. 
<span>The basic problem for the US was the battle for power between England & France. </span>
<span>England put forth a declaration that was called the </span>Orders in<span> Council... </span>
<span>This declaration barred neutral nations from trading with France & her allies. The English plan was to deprive France from receiving essential products by sea from neutral nations such as the United States. The US had developed trade between itself & France and this could be accomplished only by merchant vessels. The problem faced by the USA was that the seas were ruled by the British Royal Navy. </span>
<span>British warships would stop USA ships and kidnap US sailors & the US had no Navy to speak of to stop this. This then was the problem faced by the USA at the beginning of the war between the USA & Britain called the War of 1812. So it's mostly about the shortage of american goods. </span>
