Foreign policies include processes and strategies adopted by a nation to protect international and domestic interests and define its interactions with other states. In the United States, the foreign policy covers its citizens to ensure continued access to global markets and protection of human rights in the world. To achieve the established goals, leaders pursuing foreign policies should have a moral obligation to ensure the security and survival of the various states. The nation\’s foreign policy should also promote respect for fundamental rights to create a secure and prosperous world that can advance its interests. Although the country has a strong bilateral relationship with Afghanistan, the extreme cases of human rights violations by the Taliban indicate an inadequacy of the policy.
