CURRENT DISCUSSIONS
United States was founded on promoting freedom and democracy and protecting human rights around the world. Three most prominent goals of American foreign policy are Security, Prosperity and creation of better world which includes diplomacy, military and security policy, international human rights policies, and economic policies such as trade policy and international energy policy.
United States’ foreign policy under President Biden has miserably failed. In the case of the Ukraine war, US Administration showed sheer incompetence in fighting with Congress to give $61bn to Ukraine to keep Russia at bay. In the Middle East, United States’ repeated veto on the U.N. Security Council’s ceasefire resolution on Israel-Hamas war in Gaza has left our country isolated and in danger of losing the support of our allies. Our negative vote in the United Nations General Assembly resolution hurt our image internationally and made us look like partners in Israel’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and other war crimes. Out of the 193-member states of the U.N, only 13 voted against the U.N. ceasefire resolution. The U.S. was one of those 13 countries. Our image is badly tarnished as, in addition to the vetoes, our government has given Israel all those lethal weapons with which that country is committing the genocide of Palestinians. Israel’s war crimes have been caught on camera and shown to the whole world. Israel has openly defied our long-standing policy of a two-state solution of the problem. The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other important Israeli officials have said openly that they will never allow a state of Palestine into being. Despite such insult to our government, the Biden administration continues to support Israel financially, militarily, and diplomatically. As a member of the U.S. Congress, I will work to restore our government’s prestige and respect globally. I will also devise legislation to make our country strong economically and a superpower in true sense of the word. That is the wish of each and every American
