George H. W. Bush: Foreign Policy In His First Year
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008This is a college paper written in February 1990. It is a summary of President George Bush’s foreign policy in his first year in office.
When he ran for president in 1988, George Bush ran on his resume. The experience which he cited included the ambassadorship to the United Nations, ambassador to China, CIA director, and vice-president. Those jobs all prepared him for a career in foreign policy. In his first year in office, President Bush did emphasize foreign policy, while primarily entrusting domestic affairs to Chief of Staff John Sununu, Budget Director Richard Darman, and Treasury Secretary Nicholas Brady.
