America First Policy Directive To The Secretary Of State

On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump issued a directive emphasizing an "America First" approach in U.S. foreign policy, instructing the Secretary of State to align the Department of State’s operations and policies with this focus. This action aims to prioritize American interests and citizens in international dealings, potentially altering diplomatic strategies and resource allocation. While the directive emphasizes compliance with existing laws and does not create enforceable rights, it could face political scrutiny for its implications on international relations and global cooperation.
