Foreign affairs can be a very controversial topic in this day in age, but there is no doubt that it has massively changed in our country since the age of Monroe and Washington. Monroe had the specific view that the United States should not become involved with European affairs. But a lot has changed since those days, not only have countries have changed, but people have changed dramatically aswell. This essay will discuss why and why not it is no longer possible to stay within the boundaries of our own country. There are three main reasons on why it is no longer possible to not be involved with foreign affairs. The first reason came from the dreadful event that happened 16 years ago, 9/11. Ever since 9/11 it has been virtually impossible to

There are pro's and con's to letting them into our country. One of the biggest reasons that is going around to why we should not let them into our country is our common fear of the people. On this years memorial service of 9/11, our president Donald Trump said this about the attacks "The terrorists who attacked us thought they could incite fear and weaken the spirit. Those who try will soon join the long list of vanquished enemies who dare to test our metal,". But one thing we need to think about is how there will always be that fear, but there are refugees who are in need of a safe place and a home. So while we are to afraid to help others, they will die trying to get here just so they can feel safe again. In the August of 2017 Trump also said "We are not [a] nation building again, we are killing terrorists." when we revealed his plan to send 3,000 troops to Afghanistan.

Surveys show that 41% of Americans says that the United States helps too much. While we are focusing on other countries problems, it will be hard to focus on our …show more content…

In his first United Nations meeting he said, "If we were forced to defend itself, for it's allies, we would have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea". Later he also was quoted saying, "Rocket Man is on a suicide mission for himself, and his regime.". The term "Rocket Man" is Donald Trump's nickname for the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un.

North Korea replied by saying that Trump's threat is simply nothing but a "dog bark". Kim Jong Un was also quoted saying "There is a saying here 'Even when the dog barks, the parade goes on.'". Not only did Trump's threat endanger us but did nothing to scare or effect the country of North Korea. Unfortunately with all of the insults President Trump is making, there is a possibility we have never been so close to
