Differences in US foreign policy between Obama and Trump


22/06/2017



The current US president, "Donald Trump" repeatedly during his campaign and after assuming his duties earlier this year to criticize his predecessor, "Barack Obama" on the internal and external policy.

It was a lot of observers believe that Trump will take different actions for actions of his predecessor in the international field, especially since Trump had launched slogans including "America First" and "everything for America" ​​and others.

To prove that Trump's foreign policy differs from Obama's policy can refer to the following:



Nuclear deal with Iran

Trump launched slogans threatened to tear apart or change some of the terms concluded nuclear agreement in July 2015 between Iran and the group (P5 + 1), which includes in addition to America, both from Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany, which came into force at the beginning of 2016, describing it as the worst an agreement signed by the United States in its history. Trump considered the nuclear deal that is in favor of Iran regionally and internationally, and does not serve America's interests, while Obama was keen to sign this agreement because it believes that the benefit of his country and the international community.



America's relations with Cuba

The US relations - Cuba have been tense sharply since 1961, Obama was able to normalize these relations in the current Cuban president "Raul Castro" time, while the oldest Trump to cancel the normalization of the unilateral agreement, which faced Havana to conduct similar.



America's allies in the Middle East

Obama has sought not to raise his country's allies in the region, especially during the years of what was known as the "Arab Spring" despite the adoption procedures seem at first glance as different from this approach, as happened with former Egyptian President "Hosni Mubarak" system, where he called to respond to the demands of the Egyptian people under the pretext of the defense of democracy in the Arab world. Observers believe that the real reason for this procedure is to try to contain the Arab street raging on America's policies because of its support of the Israeli usurping entity of Palestine.

In return, Trump has sought to maintain his country's relations with many countries in the region to achieve economic interests, as happened with Saudi Arabia, which has recently held with huge deals to sell arms with hundreds of billions of dollars. Fteramb does not care about the convictions of the Arab street as much as him or economic interests throughout the region.



Democracy and Human Rights

It sought Obama administration to manifest itself as defending democracy and human rights around the world to achieve strategic interests, as happened with Saudi Arabia, which came under heavy criticism from Washington over its human rights violations and its support for terrorist groups in order to force them to pay compensation to the families of victims of terrorist attacks, especially by It targeted the Twin Towers in New York on September 11, 2001, in the framework of known simply as "Justa" American law.

Seeking Trump's management also to blackmail Saudi Arabia and other countries in the region by raising the issue of support for terrorism to achieve goals similar to what was sought by the Obama administration, but the difference between the two lies in the way in which the blackmail, where is the Trump democracy and human rights is just a means to achieve tactical objectives in Obama was considered a means to achieve strategic objectives. This difference appeared clearly during Trump's visit to Saudi Arabia.



International agreements

Obama has sought to maintain international treaties concluded by his country with other countries such as the Treaty of Paris climate, while quickly Trump to cancel it, claiming that it is not in favor of the US economy, and this shows that Trump does not care to comply with any international or regional treaties as long stood in the way of economic aspirations on unlike the Obama administration, which was prepared to keep these treaties in order to achieve the interests of the political and security strategy.

In conclusion, it must be stressed that all American presidents, including Trump and Obama are moving according to the dictates of American interests, even though at the expense of other countries or conflict with international conventions, and the difference lies in the way the implementation of this policy and the required stage of procedures ranging from lip service to democracy and human human and sometimes between the military and the threat of repudiation for compliance with any legal obligation at other times as it does Trump about the nuclear deal with Iran, which was endorsed by the UN Security Council after being signed by the five permanent members of the Security Council countries plus Germany in the framework of the Group International hexagonal.
