Please do not post this again.

The best summary of George Washington's viewpoint on American foreign policy is option b: "The United States should limit interaction with Europe to commercial or trade." In his Farewell Address, Washington emphasized the importance of having as little political connection as possible with foreign nations, particularly Europe. He believed that Europe's interests were distinct from those of the United States and that the U.S. should avoid getting involved in European controversies, which he saw as essentially foreign to American concerns. Washington expressed the need to fulfill any existing engagements with foreign nations in good faith but recommended caution in avoiding entanglement in European ambition to protect American peace and prosperity. Therefore, the statement that best reflects his viewpoint is that the U.S. should limit its interaction with Europe to commercial or trade matters.
