The Adjustments in US Foreign Policy under Trump’s Administration
As a federal state, the United States has the form of government organization with a presidential system, which makes the President own great power. As one of the most powerful people in the world, every time the replacement of president will make a huge difference to American foreign policy and bring great influence to the world. It has been almost a year since Donald Trump took office, and his New Deal has almost entirely proclaimed the failure and end of the Obama administration's foreign policy. So what change has Donald Trump brought?

the traces left by its predecessor. The decision will no doubt be a new uncertainty for the relations between U.S. and Cuba. It is also not conducive to the United States' statusin South America (Ya1).
Change of PoliticalForeign Policy
On June 16, 2017, Donald trump announced that he would cancel a "unilateral agreement" between the Obama administration and Cuba, and this executive order should take effect immediately. In the 1960s, the United States imposed an economic blockade on Cuba and did not stop until 2015. With the Obama administration's efforts, relations between Cuba and Cuba became relaxed, and the two countries all sought to normalize relations. On the one hand, this is considering the decline of American influence in South America. On the other hand, USA feels pressure from International public opinion---the United Nations has condemned the United States for its economic blockade on Cuba for many years. However,itseems that Trump totally unconcerned about the efforts and aims of the previous administration, even as it is eager to remove
What’s more, on June 1, Donald Trump announced that The United States would pull out of The Paris Agreement. This has led to widespread criticism and protests against it. Obama, and many formerU.S.politicians and foreign leaders, such as The French President Macron, have expressed frustration at Trump's decision. The leaders of France, Germany and Italy issued a joint statement on the day saying the Paris agreementwas "impossible to renegotiate"(Zheng)
On June 27, U.S. President Donald trump has signed an executive order called "thenational defense plan to stop foreign terrorists from entering the United States." The executive order demands that in the next 90 days, the United States will forbid the entry of people who come from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen and Libya. Because the seven countries involved are mainly Muslim countries, the executive order has also been called Muslim Ban by the media and civil society(Baidu Baike). This caused a stir in the United States and the world. Demonstrations broke in the United States and international public opinion condemned it. Trump is criticized as a racist. Some states courts have refused to enforce the bill. A stricter immigration policy is require, and high wall was built in the border of Mexico. The United States has been renowned for its diversity, liberty, democracy.Itisacountry consist of immigrants. This ban again damages America's international image and undoubtedly make America's racial conflicts intensified, causing domestic instability.
That may leave the U.S. with some diplomatic difficulties, but it is certainly in line with trump'sprinciple, “AmericanFirst”. Trump hopes exit of the Paris agreement can promote the development of the domestic coal industry and facilitate the production of energy in theU.S.

of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP). The United States joined TPP in 2009, which made TPP promote the economic integration in the Asia-Pacific region and play a greater role in globalization. The US-Exit of TPP is actually an anti-globalization activity at this time. As one of the biggest beneficiaries of economicglobalization, America again showed its image asanirresponsible great power when faced its own self-interest. There is no doubt that this exit is another blow to the global trade. Out of the same aim, trump asked the renegotiation of NAFTA or withdrawal from the trade alliance. He also wanted to place a 45% tariff on Chinse goods, which would cause a trade war. Hesaid, “Chinais laughing at us,I want tariffs.” Although that only is one of his rather naïve statements.
In foreign policy, the Obama Administration mainly focused on the followed things: the Iranian nuclear issue, the improvement of the U.S.-Cuba diplomatic relationship, TTP and TTIP, the international cooperation on climate change, legalized the illegal immigrants(Zheng, Huang1).However,Donald Trump quickly made a series of decisions to overthrow several resolutions of Obama administration after he took office. There is no doubt that Donald trump Administration is different from its former. These executive orders made a great impact both in the United States and internationally. Trump is trying to fulfil his campaign promise--- America has the priority.

the Paris agreement all are aiming to revive American manufacturing, create more jobs for American, and bring America back to greatness. Out of TPP does help remove a huge threat to American manufacturing, as Trump has said. On January 20th, Donald trump's in his inaugural address again pointed the issue that at the heart of the conflictbetween the public and the elite, he said the United States was actively engaged in the process, economic globalization, that was tearing itself apart. It is not difficult to understand that withdrawing from the "TPP" is the first step to return tΒιβλιοθήκη Baidue popular support of Trump(China.com).We can believe he does want to meet his promises: “We will follow two simple rules: buy American, and hire American.”
