Dear Mr. Trump:

Relations between countries are so essential for the present as well as the future of the worlds
societies. Foreign Relations and affairs can be seen all throughout history. Whether its a
common goal, or enemy, relations between countries must be stable. Throughout the years the
United states has somewhat dissipated the relationships between countries that we have been
allies with for many years. The risk of not having good foreign relations can lead to the
stultification of many aspects in society that could put both corporate and the common-man in a
vegetative standstill or even worse and cause the advancement of society to decay in however
way you can interpret. It is understood that as time changes, the circumstances do as well,
however, it is strongly suggested that you, the senate and the house of representatives do
everything possible to ensure good foreign relations for the betterment of our United Nation.
According to authors Volker Krause and Christopher Sprecher having good Foreign Relations
between countries has its perks. For example, the book says having good Relations between
countries leads to perks which includes trading among countries, troop transfers and strategize
for success. We can see this throughout history when world war 2 was happening. During World
War 2 the United States was allies with many countries such as Britain, France, USSR, Australia,
Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, Greece, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland,
South Africa, and Yugoslavia. Having this many countries at our disposal, they could help us
with the cost of war that included casualties, transportation and weaponry for the soldiers as well
as providing rations for troops. With this many Allies it also can ensure victory as these countries
could donate troops to fight the similar cause.
At a personal standpoint seeing the events thats happening now around the world, it is very
important to keep good terms with different countries. As a citizen of the United States I think I
empathize with other U.S citizens due to the chaos and haywire around the world. With current
terrors, such as ISIS or North Korea that threaten the United States, it is very important to make
sure that we have people to support our cause to make sure the people of this great countries are
guaranteed a safe future. With the many Syrian causalities between the U.S and Russian, the

relationship between these two countries are tense. Having these tensions could cause bad
conflicts between countries.
Scholars and Authors alike such as Duncan Innes-Ker list the possible ways that the foreign
policies could be moved around to suit the needs of both parties, thus making a good connection
between the two countries. Innes-Ker wrote an article about how U.S and Chinas relations can be
better. This includes abiding by international law, establish common standards of action in the
Asia-Pacific, and improve communication lines and increase transparency. It also includes
making sure every conflict is handled with care to prevent any repercussions. With this being
said, we could use this way to internationally help rebuild our relations of different countries.
The importance of nurturing Foreign Policy is crucial for success in the United States. You and
your lawmakers must make this a topic for the agendas of the different firms in the U.S
government. Without having good foreign policy, this countries stability could go downhill and
could cause economy to drop, casualties to be accounted for and many other problems for our
society. Please take my concerns into your consideration. The fate of this great country lies in
your hands.
Sincerely,

Tyree Dennis
