How did George Bush Deal with other states?

The administration walked a thin and difficult line in which it needed China support for the war against terrorism and dealing with North Korea yet was concerned with China’s growing economic strength and the continuing conflicts with Taiwan.  The early initiatives of the George W. Bush administration largely amounted to distancing itself from Clinton’s foreign policy and saying “no”: The Kyoto Protocol was rejected as flawed; a national ballistic missile system was embraced; it withdrew from participating in the International Criminal Court, and the ABM (antiballistic missile) was abandoned After the 9/11 terrorist attacks Pres. George W. Bush demanded that the Taliban government of Afghanistan expel Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda and sever its ties with international terrorism in general. Bush identified North Korea, Iraq and Iran as an “axis of evil” that threatened American security interests. In the months that followed, the United States and North Korea entered into a verbal sparring match over the legitimacy of this charge.
