Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The executive branch, including various departments such as the Departments of State, Defense, and Homeland Security, as well as the National Security Council and other agencies, is most heavily involved in foreign policy. While Congress plays a role in approving funding for foreign policy initiatives and ratifying treaties, it is ultimately the executive branch that leads and implements foreign policy decisions. The United Nations does not fall under the federal government of the United States, although the US participates in the UN as a member state.
