To avoid entangling alliances has been a maxim of our policy

Summary

This quote highlights the long-standing policy of the United States to avoid forming close alliances with other countries. Dating back to the time of President George Washington, this principle has been considered wise and undisputed.

By adhering to this policy, the United States aims to safeguard its interests and assert its own interests without being unduly compromised by alliance obligations or conflicts between others.
