US foreign policy towards Syria after 2011

Abstract

    The topic discussed American movements and interactions in Syria, whether political, economic, security or military. Before that, the American position and perception of Syria was determined, as it falls within the circle of its global interests, due to its location, which represents a central point and node in the entire Middle East region, which extends over the global continents of strategic weight - such as Asia and Africa - in the matter of control, domination and global influence. Therefore, various American governments have worked since 2011 to ensure that Syria does not represent a threat to American interests. Its armed forces were present in the border triangle (Iraq-Jordan-Syria), and formed an alliance with local forces, perhaps the most prominent of which is the (Syrian Democratic Forces). At the same time, the Bashar al-Assad regime was weakened by isolating it internationally and then toppling it with the help of economic sanctions, which represent an effective American tool even under the new Syrian political regime. It can be said that the effectiveness of American policy in Syria will increase in the future, which is encouraged by the modernity of its new regime and its need for aid of various kinds (political, security, military and economic). Its orientation is against the countries resisting American influence, in addition to Syria's location on global energy and trade routes
