What role should diplomacy play in U.S. foreign policy?

The Trump administration has drastically reduced the size and influence of the State Department, leaving key positions unfilled and proposing massive cuts to the foreign aid budget. Many Republicans have joined Democrats in criticizing this effort to sideline diplomats, and both Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders have pledged to reinvest in diplomacy.

Read career diplomat William J. Burns on how President Trump’s actions have damaged U.S. credibility and influence abroad—and how to begin the process of revitalizing the State Department, Bonnie Bley on why it matters that China has surpassed the United States in the size of its diplomatic network, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Trump’s approach to negotiation with foreign leaders.
