Abstract

The United States' foreign policy towards Afghanistan has been a long conflict. The 9/11 tragedy was caused by the Al-Qaeda extremist terrorist group led by Osama Bin Laden. This terrorist group attacked the WTC building in New York and then the US responded to the attack by invading Afghanistan with the aim of overthrowing the terrorist group in Afghanistan. This conflict is influenced by complex factors, one of which is influenced by the policy-making actor, Donald Trump. Trump's inconsistency in formulating foreign policy in Afghanistan is influenced by his background, experience, and perception as a leader.

The general objective of this research is to analyze Donald Trump's decision making process in the United States foreign policy towards Afghanistan from 2017 to 2021. While the specific objective is to examine Donald Trump's internal and external factors that influence US foreign policy towards Afghanistan.

This research uses qualitative research by collecting data sources from books, journals, articles and news. This research uses Alexander Wend's Constructivism approach and the Concept of Foreign Policy and the Concept of Decision making process from Alex Mintz and Karl DeRouen which shows indicators of the influence of his decisions can be seen from the Leader's personality, leader type, and Donald Trump's leadership style through his policies towards Afghanistan 2017-2021.
