Eisenhower's military policy was shaped by nuclear technology. Due to the concept of M.A.D. (Mutually Assured Destruction, though I am not sure if that term was in use during his administration), nuclear weapons became the focus of national defense. So the US shifted from a large standing army to a smaller one with emphasis on intelligence gathering, espionage, and large stockpile of nuclear weapons.

Why would the defense contractors have any influence on the US foreign policy?

Defense contractors can influence U.S. foreign policy due to their significant financial investment in military programs and defense technologies, which can shape national security priorities. Their lobbying efforts and political contributions often sway lawmakers to support policies that favor military spending and foreign interventions. Additionally, they may leverage their expertise to advocate for specific defense strategies that align with their business interests, thereby intertwining their success with national policy decisions. This relationship can create a cycle where defense spending and foreign policy are driven by contractor interests rather than purely strategic considerations.

How did the policy of executive agreement reach a new level under US President William McKinley?

Executive agreements continue to be used to shape US foreign policy. In 1900, US President William McKinley used this policy when committing US armed forces. In 1900, he set the tone of US foreign policy by sending 5,000 troops to China. The excuse for this action was that American lives and property were in danger. US troops joined with other imperialists to end the Boxer Rebellion. The Chinese government actually declared war on the US. The US did not return the favor. The major factor there was that US military action was that Congress was never even consulted.
