Can we find a foreign policy of responsible global engagement that most Americans support, that draws the right lessons from our past mistakes, that steers between the equally dangerous shoals of confrontation and abdication, and that understands the difference between self-interest and selfishness? Antony Blinken and Robert Kagan propose an approach in a piece originally published by the Washington Post.
Foreign policy was the last thing on voters' minds in the midterm elections, but as we start to look toward 2024, one thing is clear: President Trump's "America First" foreign policy-or its progressive cousin, retrenchment-is broadly popular in both parties.

Can we find a foreign policy of responsible global engagement that most Americans support, that draws the right lessons from our past mistakes, that steers between the equally dangerous shoals of confrontation and abdication, and that understands the difference between self-interest and selfishness?

1. Preventive diplomacy and deterrence
2. Trade and technology
3. Allies and institutions
4. Immigration and refugees
