What we publish
US Foreign Policy produces original analysis of American diplomacy and global strategy, organized into four coverage areas:
- State Department — bilateral and multilateral diplomacy, embassy operations, and diplomatic strategy.
- Defense Policy — Pentagon strategy, military deployments, NATO commitments, and national security decisions.
- Sanctions & Trade — economic sanctions, trade agreements, tariff policy, and export controls.
- Congressional Foreign Affairs — congressional oversight of foreign policy, including Senate Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs Committee activity.
Every article is sourced and cites primary documents (government releases, congressional records, and named news reporting) inline. Articles carry a byline, a publish date, and a category, and are marked up with Article structured data. Category pages use CollectionPage structured data.
