The UN, NATO, the IMF and the World Bank, the law of nations and international criminal law, even today’s free and united Europe – all are crowning achievements of US foreign policy. They mark the moments in history when America’s power was used to further a global order, while also pursuing America’s own interests in the most effective and sustainable manner.
联合国、北约、世界货币组织和世界银行、国际法和国际刑法，甚至今天自由和联合的欧洲，所有这些都是美国外交政策的至高无上的成就。它们记载了美国的强权被用来推动世界秩序的历史时刻，但同时也是美国最有效和可持续地获取其自身利益的时刻。
