of Egypt as new friends in America. This focus is on the Brotherhood belt in US
policy of full support and solidarity with the Qatari coalition of Turkey, Saudi
Arabia, against Syria. But it is about the past, and this transformation cannot be
ignored, as the United States has undergone some of its Middle Eastern policies.
Accordingly, part of the policy is at least revised and revised at the tactic level, and
it is a fact that the United States does not necessarily employ the practices and tactics of the past, although they are seeking to arrive at the principles and framework
to the same ends (www.acacompany.net 2018).
But the second point is whether the United States can turn its back on the Middle
East and focus less on its policies? This issue is deeply questioned and doubtful.
The United States has even made commitments to the region even in some cases. As
Obama’s symbolic aspects of the Obama travel immediately after victory in the
second round of elections, “the Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton,” who
was the appointee of Obama’s visit to Burma, was referred to the Middle East at the
height of the recent crisis in Gaza. If the Obama trip symbolically means focusing
on Asia, the urgency and urgency of the US Secretary of State’s move to Tel Aviv
and Cairo to establish a cease-fire and reach a framework to end the Gaza crisis
shows that America is at the peak of Asian action Cannot go away from the Middle
East, and the reactions that have been mentioned will undoubtedly affect the United
States in the Middle East (www.acacompany.net 2018).
The third point is where will the focus of the new America take place in Asia?
This is a very challenging and ambiguous issue. China is now more confident in its
periphery, with confidence in its economic situation, in the past few years, and
America’s friends in the region, while maintaining a good relationship with China,
are struggling to offset their excessive power through more ties with the United
States. But does this link exacerbate tensions in the region, which is rising steadily?
The tensions between China and Japan over particular islands in the South China
Sea, the tensions of the Philippines and China, the tensions between Vietnam and
China in the border areas are among the tensions. Will the Asian focus of the United
States increase these tensions? The answer to this question is confusing. However,
we know that the Chinese are not seeking tensions.
Whatever the case, the focus on Asia, which is accompanied by a claim that
America’s Middle East policy is being deconstructed, has a place to think and
understand the intentions and methods of US foreign policy. Some analysts believe
that Obama’s Pivot to Asia policy was the biggest foreign policy mistake by his
administration while in office (www.thediplomat.com 2018a, b).
John Ford claims that previously US foreign policy had neglected the AsiaPacific regions, but during the last decades, Asia’s rising importance in the global
economy called for more military resources in the region, at a time when the US
could afford to pull back from the Middle East and other regions (www.thediplomat.com 2018a, b). The Obama administration focused on managing more tensions
in the Asia Pacific region, neglecting the Middle East, Central Asia, and Europe. US
neglect from the Middle East is especially faulted as allowing these regions to fall
into even deeper chaos (www.thediplomat.com 2018a, b).
