Abstract
It is quite apparent that the major challenges that are being faced today are global in nature; while some are interconnected, they are also very diverse. Some require a regional solution like the Arab-Israeli dispute, while others require a global response in varying degrees, for example, dealing with climate change and fighting terrorism. However, one thing is predominant in all these, and that is that the active involvement of the United States is of paramount importance for their resolution, for the United States, besides being the sole superpower of the present age, is also deeply and intimately connected with all these challenges and problems in one way or another. To resolve these issues the weight of U.S. diplomacy is not only essential but is also required for a sustained solution.
