Domestic Affairs and Foreign Affairs of the United States Domestic Affairs Foreign Affairs I hope to talk about it from multiple angles in more detail. Thank you everyone!

Diplomacy is an extension of domestic affairs. A country’s foreign policy must obey and serve the country’s overall foreign strategy. When observing and analyzing U.S. foreign policy, we must adhere to the perspective of domestic politics. The primary consideration of U.S. presidents and decision-makers in making foreign policy decisions is to balance the practical needs of domestic parties and interest groups, thereby stabilizing and consolidating their ruling position, and rarely consider external factors. Of course, opinions from the core group of U.S. allies (the seven Western countries and NATO members) will have an important impact on U.S. foreign policy decisions, but they are not decisive. Looking at history, whatever the United States has made up its mind to do, no matter how many external constraints or resistance there are, it will not shake its determination to implement it, because this is related to the role of the U.S. ruling party and ruling group in domestic politics. Credibility and dignity. The United States has never, and will never, look for basis and reasons for foreign policy decisions beyond its own interests. In fact, no country with modern rationality in the world will engage in diplomacy simply for the purpose of developing foreign relations.

The so-called "spillover effects" of domestic interest group games refer to the fact that interest group struggles that originally belong to the domestic affairs of the United States transcend the scope of partisan games. It has long been an open secret that interest groups dominate foreign policy in the United States. Various "specific pressure groups" such as military industry interest groups, steel interest groups, textile interest groups, IT industry interest groups, agricultural interest groups, and environmental protection interest groups often use their own industrial development strategies to gain an upper hand in lobbying politics in Congress. and the technical standards of the department. The so-called president's personal "performance view" refers to the president's personal positioning of his own achievements in American history and his understanding of self-realization. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and it is the instinct of politicians to surpass their predecessors. Compared with the hard-to-return domestic affairs, seeking achievements in the diplomatic field has often become a keen experiment for successive US presidents after taking office.
