Merged

Note that I've merged the page histories of the old page that was at the title "Foreign relations of the United States" with the new page that was moved to the same title. All the edits before May 2008 contain the old page history. This page history needs to be kept because there was a merge from the page "Foreign relations of the United States" to foreign policy of the United States. Graham87 09:48, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

strained country section

This section must be fixed as there could easily be more countries on there like America and Zimbabwe most certainly do not have good relations I mean America advocated sanctions against them. Eritrea is most certainly another, Serbia doesn't really make sense there today I mean America has a much better relationship with them then they used to. And Burma that is one of America's most strained relationships on earth. All the chavez new left allies like Bolivia and Nicaragua, Ecuador as well have all been strained recently. I could keep going so a clean up is needed asap to the strained section —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.95.46.162 (talk) 15:22, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

That list is rather arbitrary. Russia may have tensions with the U.S., but both nations have embassies, trade relations, and other normal ties. 108.125.116.235 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:19, 12 December 2011 (UTC).

Miscategorization?

Why are Belize, Guyana, and Suriname listed in the Caribbean section? Shouldn't they be in the "Americas" section? 71.184.241.68 (talk) 19:06, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

Australia - Commonwealth alignment

This article and two other related articles(Australia – United States relations and Foreign relations of Australia) make three separate statements about Australia's alignment to the Commonwealth of Nations. This article states: Australia used to be aligned with the Commonwealth of Nations. The Australia-United States relations article states: Australia is also [in addition to the United States of America] aligned with the Commonwealth of Nations... The Foreign relations of Australia article states: ...Australia has traditionally been aligned with the Commonwealth of Nations... A subject should not be interpreted in three conflicting ways in different articles. Australia is a member of the Commonwealth, therefore, how can Australia not be aligned with the Commonwealth? If it is possible for a country to be aligned to the Commonwealth than surely a member of the Commonwealth must be naturally aligned to the Commonwealth. Though, personally, I would refute that a country can be aligned to the Commonwealth as members of the Commonwealth have and are free to pursue completely separate foreign policies. I shall, however, edit statements in these three article relating to alignment between Australia and the Commonwealth to agree; utilising the statement made in the Foreign relations of Australia article as it presents the middle ground. 60.226.81.81 (talk) 18:35, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

South Sudan

Is there any reliable sources about relations between between South Sudan and the United States? All I can find is that the USA officially recognized South Sudan as a sovereign state. -- Luke ^Talk 17:07, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Irresponsible Stakeholders? The Difficulty of Integrating Rising Powers by Stewart Patrick Foreign Affairs November/December 2010; excerpt ...

A major strategic challenge for the United States in the coming decades will be integrating emerging powers into international institutions. The dramatic growth of Brazil, China, and India -- and the emergence of middle-tier economies such as Indonesia and Turkey -- is transforming the geopolitical landscape and testing the institutional foundations of the post-World War II liberal order.
