In the past year, as always, the US managed to have some successes and some failures in its politics, economics, diplomacy.
Two successes are:
- mediating and sorting out the problem between Macedonia and Greece in the Balkans which is a region of big interest for the United States
- helping the domestic businesses and strengthening their position, resulting in an improved economy and an increase in the value of the dollar
Two failures are:
- the constantly increasing tensions with Iran because of bad diplomacy
- the fallen and unproductive negotiations with North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un
