The Middle East region is of great importance in the American policy strategy because of the vital interests that link it to it, the most important of which is the oil wealth, which the United States has been keen to continue flowing to it and its allies and work to maintain its influence in the region and also to ensure Israel’s security. Achieving these goals is a fixed strategy in America’s foreign policy. The administrations of successive governments do not differ on it, despite the presence of discrepancies in the mechanisms for achieving them from one administration to another. Renew of peace process to improve the image of America. Working to end the military presence in the region and replace it with security and political arrangements that guarantee American interests. The administration of Donald Trump was more realistic in dealing with the development of events, and the commercial background of this man may have influenced the policy of his administration of the country, as he raised the slogan (America First). He took many of important decisions, including withdrawing from the nuclear agreement with Iran, as well withdrawing from 14 international treaties and organizations, which he believes do not achieve American hegemony and are not of great benefit to American interests.
