Summary
This document is a page from a House Oversight briefing paper (page 18) summarizing President Obama's foreign policy actions around late 2011.

Foreign aid: In his 2010 address to the U.N. General Assembly,
Obama announced an overhaul of U.S. foreign aid policies, which he
vowed will place them at the center of U.S. foreign policy. In the
speech he called aid a "core pillar of American power." Nonetheless,
foreign aid to a number of countries was cut by Congress in the 2012
budget.

Iran/nukes: Early in his presidency, Obama made several overtures
to Iran in an effort to improve relations. Critics say this engagement
strategy went too far during the 2009 Green Movement uprising
against the reelection of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, when the
Obama administration was reluctant to overtly back the protesters.
Since then, the administration has instituted a number of new
sanctions against Iran that are aimed at halting its nuclear enrichment
program. "We are not taking any options off the table. Iran with
nuclear weapons would pose a threat not only to the region but also
to the United States," Obama said in a recent news conference in
Hawaii.

Trade: In October, Obama signed long-delayed free trade agreements
with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea. On his trip to Asia this
November, Obama is working to promote a new trans-Pacific free
