Assessing Obama’s Global Record

Dujarric evaluates President Obama’s foreign policy achievements and shortcomings, grading his administration on key areas: the Iran nuclear deal, the Paris climate accord, and the pivot to Asia. He praises diplomatic breakthroughs but critiques slower responses to emerging threats like the South China Sea disputes. He suggests that while Obama strengthened multilateral agreements, his approach often lacked strategic clarity, leading allies to question U.S. commitment. Dujarric recommends future administrations balance visionary diplomacy with firm assurances to partners to sustain global leadership.
