US GOVERNMENT FOREIGN POLICY INFORMATION
President of the United States
Under the Constitution, the president is the federal official primarily responsible for the relations of the United States with foreign nations. The president appoints ambassadors, ministers, and consuls — subject to confirmation by the Senate — and receives foreign ambassadors and other public officials. The president decides whether to recognize new nations and new governments, and negotiate treaties with other nations, which become binding on the United States when approved by two-thirds of the Senate. With the secretary of state, the president manages all official contacts with foreign governments. The website of the White House provides speeches and statements by the president, announcements, fact sheets, and other documents on foreign policy issues.
