Abstract
Foreign policy decisions are often based on assumptions about foreign policy actors. Donald Trump's foreign policy in the Middle East was confused from the beginning! But what exactly was his foreign policy? Many critics see this confusion in the president not making the right decision.
A simpler and more accurate explanation for the confusion is that Trump's foreign policy did not take on a name. The purpose of this study is to answer the main question of this article: How was the US foreign policy during the Trump presidency based on decision models? The authors' hypothesis is that US foreign policy under Trump was based on a combination of systematic elements, Trump personal characteristics, the influence of domestic issues, bureaucratic policies and personal connections, and "wrong political assumptions" in Trump decisions. The research confirms the hypothesis of the authors of the article. The type of analysis in this research will be descriptive-analytical and the theoretical framework presented is based on decision theories.
