This paper has researched the different national role conceptions of two American presidents, Donald Trump and Joe Biden, with the purpose of seeing how their national role conception of the USA could affect the relationship between the USA and NATO. The theory used in this paper is national role conception from an article written by K. J. Holsti. The presidents inaugurations-speeches, first State of the Union-speeches and the presidential debate from Nashville have been used as material in this paper. It concludes that the presidents have partly different national role conceptions, with one role being the same and two being different. This paper also concludes that different national role conceptions could potentially affect the relationship between the USA and NATO.
