Abstract
The article examines the contrasting foreign policy approaches of former Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump, particularly in relation to the Middle East. It highlights Obama's early presidency as characterized by a public relations campaign that acknowledged past American arrogance and sought to repair international relations, which some critics labeled an "apology tour." In contrast, Trump's foreign policy emphasized tangible objectives and criticized previous interventions, while paradoxically taking credit for the stability and economic growth in the region that resulted from earlier U.S. actions, including the Iraq War. The piece argues that both presidents' policies reflect broader themes of American engagement and interventionism, with Trump's rhetoric often misrepresenting the complexities of U.S. involvement in the Middle East.
