It's been one year since President Donald Trump was inaugurated following an election campaign to "Make America Great Again."

On January 20, 2017, the New York businessman and former reality television star was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. Within moments of taking the oath of office under overcast skies, Trump declared: "From this day forward, it's going to be America first."

CNBC takes a look at some of the Trump administration's key foreign policy decisions over the past 12 months.

North Korea

Trump's first year in the Oval Office has been dominated by several months of apocalyptic rhetoric with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

During his first address to the United Nations (UN) General Assembly in September, the U.S. president threatened to "totally destroy" the isolated regime. Trump made several derisory remarks towards Kim throughout the year — labeling him "Little Rocket Man" — and publicly discouraged his own administration from making attempts to engage in dialogue with Pyongyang's leader.

"The way that (Trump) has handled North Korea stands out above all else. He has ratcheted up tensions and pressure seemingly without an end game in mind," Jeffrey Wright, U.S. researcher at Eurasia Group's North America practice, told CNBC in a phone interview.

Since the start of 2017, Pyongyang has fired 23 missiles during 16 tests and consistently ignored international calls to halt its nuclear and missile programs. In July, North Korea also launched its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).

More recently, tensions on the Korean peninsula appear to have cooled ahead of the Winter Olympic Games in South Korea next month. At the start of 2018, Pyongyang and Seoul renewed official communications for the first time in almost two years.

Trump sought to take credit for the talks, tweeting that it was his "firm" and "strong" foreign policy stance that had brought about a major diplomatic breakthrough.

Israel

Late last year, Trump dismissed warnings from American allies throughout the Middle East and announced Washington would officially recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

"When I came into office, I promised to look at the world's challenges with open eyes and very fresh thinking," Trump said as he delivered his speech on December 6, before adding: "This is nothing more, or less, than a recognition of reality. It is also the right thing to do. It is something that has to be done."

Trump also announced the U.S. would move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a decision that upends decades of Washington policy.

Jerusalem has special religious and cultural significance for Jews, Muslims and Christians and its territorial status is a key factor in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Trump's announcement was widely seen as the U.S. siding with Israel and breaking with its former role as an honest broker in a fragile regional peace process.

The move immediately attracted international condemnation, with critics concerned it could ignite further conflict in the region. As expected, there have been protests by Palestinians since the move and Middle Eastern leaders have demanded that Trump rescind the recognition
