Foreign relations of the United States

The United States of America has formal diplomatic relations with all United Nations member states except for Bhutan, Iran, and North Korea. Between the two United Nations observer states, the U.S. maintains official ties only with the Holy See; and while it does not recognize Palestine, it has engaged in diplomacy with the Palestinian Authority through dedicated initiatives within the U.S. Embassy to Israel in Jerusalem. The U.S. also has a close but informal relationship with Taiwan, which has had no United Nations status since 1971. Additionally, the U.S. recognized Kosovo in 2008 and has since maintained official relations with it in spite of the country's lack of any United Nations status. The U.S. federal statutes concerning foreign relations can be found in Title 22 of the United States Code. The U.S. has the second-most diplomatic missions of any country in the world after China.
