The United States Department of State (DoS), commonly referred as State Department, is a state body of the executive branch of the United States of America responsible for the country's foreign policy. It is equivalent to the ministry of foreign affairs in other countries. The department "exists to assist the President, through the Secretary of State, in formulating and executing the foreign policy and relations of the United States of America."[1] It is guided by the Foreign Affairs Manual.[2]
