The general focus of American foreign policy in the 21st century has primarily been on the growing threat of terrorism in the Middle East. This focus has been shaped significantly by major events such as the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, leading to prolonged military engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as ongoing counterterrorism efforts globally.
