United States Common Foreign and Security Policy

The United States Common Foreign and Security Policy (USCFSP) is the organised, agreed foreign policy of the United States (USNA) for mainly security and defense diplomacy and actions. USCFSP deals only with a specific part of the USNA's external relations, which domains include mainly Trade and Commercial Policy and other areas such as funding to third countries, etc. Decisions require unanimity among member States in the United States Federal Council, but once agreed, certain aspects can be further decided by two-thirds supermajority voting.

The United States' foreign minister at Federal-level is the Secretary of the United States Department of State and Foreign Affairs; however, each State also has its own foreign minister, usually styled in like or similar manner as their Federal counterpart: of the eighteen States, seventeen of them style their foreign minister in the same manner as the Federal foreign minister –"Secretary of State and Foreign Affairs"– while one (Hawaiʻi) uses the style, "Minister of State and Foreign Affairs". As to the actual implementation of the USCFSP, both the United States and the States respectively, insofar as relates to their respective Powers and Competence, are responsible for carrying out the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the United States.
