If it's supposed to be "major non-NATO allies plus Taiwan," why isn't Taiwan shaded? --SchutteGod (talk) 22:55, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

executive agreement vs treaty
executive agreement was merged into this page, however "executive agreement" vs treaty isnt very well described here. The history of these tools is different from the policies that are formed by them. The old 'Executive agreement' page says that US president can create executive agreements for three different reasons, only one of which is foreign policy. I think it would be good to unmerge executive agreement, describing how the tool works and the administrative processes involved (e.g. how are they disseminated, archived, etc) and providing notable examples of that tool being used instead of a congressional-executive agreement.

 * Treaty Clause contains a better description of these agreements. John Vandenberg (chat) 00:14, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

RFC
This issue has been tagged for a year. I have posted a content Request for Comments, which should be published as soon as the bot that processes RFCs is fixed. I would and will comment that the article on executive agreements should be split out because executive agreements are not limited to the United States. After all, any US executive agreement has had at least one other head of government sign it. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:03, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Plan to Remove Tag
I plan to remove the conflict tag after allowing a period for comments. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:56, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Tag removed after no comments. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:39, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Relations with Pakistan
Hello, I am a little surprised not to be able to find the US relations with the Pakistan. I think it is a really important aspect today and it could be interesting to develop it. Let me know what you think about it. Thanks. --ACA Galaxy (talk) 05:01, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Criticism section
From past experience with "criticism" or "controversy" sections, I have seen that they often become POV magnets, and failing that, are NPOV violations, because weighting it relative to the rest of the article is impossible. Therefore, if there are no objections raised here, I propose to merge it with the rest of the article, with no loss of content. Thoughts? Vanamonde93 (talk) 14:30, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
 * i think it should stay--readers certainly expect such a section. Rjensen (talk) 00:07, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I do not plan on deleting the content; however, it is far easier to write a balanced piece on US foreign policy in Guatemala, for instance, and including criticism, than it is to create a balanced section here; how on earth do we decide how long this should be? Vanamonde93 (talk) 05:35, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * how long should it be? that is an issue with every section of this article. it's what we as editors decide. Rjensen (talk) 05:57, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I think you misunderstand. Yes, we decide the length of every section; in an area with copious sources, such as this one, that decision is mostly based upon WP:DUE. But criticism of US foreign policy rarely exists in the general form; there are far, far, more sources dealing with criticisms in specific areas. Therefore, for a general "criticism" section, due weight becomes near impossible to evaluate. Is that clearer? Vanamonde93 (talk) 06:02, 6 July 2014 (UTC
 * I am 100% with Vanamonde93 here. Criticism sections exclusively attract, well, criticism. That's a guarantee of NPOV problems. Include alternative views with the discussions on specific topics. HiLo48 (talk) 06:03, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * In my opinion: the relations between US and XYZ has its own article and that's where specific criticism belongs--otherwise we have 100 new paragraphs here. This is a high-level article and should not get bogged down with each little country.Rjensen (talk) 06:53, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Friend, you are being the tiniest bit obtuse. Yes, we have separate articles for U.S.-XYZ relations; but by your logic, this entire article is then redundant. All I am saying, is that we have country specific and period specific sections here; those should be complete, that it, including criticism, rather than bunching it all at the bottom, like the big pile of dirt under the carpet.

War on Drugs section seems lonely without War on Terror
Somebody want to write a paragraph or two on the latter? One little sentence in Military doesn't seem to do it justice. It's sort of a big deal, you know? InedibleHulk (talk) 05:39, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
