The Department of State (DOS) oversees foreign affairs, diplomacy, and consular services. Through embassies and consulates worldwide, it shapes and carries out U.S. foreign policy, issues visas, and protects citizens abroad.
It touches both security and the economy through foreign aid, arms control, and commercial diplomacy. It issues fewer rules than other departments, but its policy direction ripples across defense, trade, and immigration.
