Unlike many other policy areas where there may be some indication of an overarching strategy or approach to prioritization, the manner in which the Trump Administration will execute foreign policy remains largely unknown. While President-elect Trump has outlined a vision for reduced U.S. interference around the global, it is also unclear how the incoming executive branch can obtain this goal while simultaneously ensuring the U.S. maintains a competitive edge in the global economy and responds appropriately to inevitable international crisis.

Executive Branch Agenda -

The foreign policy agenda outlined to date has not been easy to decipher, especially as Presidentelect Trump has advocated for both interventionist and isolationist responses to various circumstances around the world. While the Trump transition team has yet to lay out any specific plans, some of the promises made on the campaign trail could be signs of what the executive branch may prioritize in the foreign relations space.
