"Rogue state" (or sometimes "outlaw state") is a term applied predominantly by the United States government after the end of the Cold War to adversarial states linked to terrorism, regional aggression, weapons of mass destruction, and narcotics trafficking.
The term is used most by the United States (although the US State Department officially stopped using the term in 2000); in his speech at the United Nations (UN) in 2017, U.S. President Donald Trump reiterated this phrase. U.S. politicians have used the term to describe countries such as Iran, Ba'athist Syria, North Korea, Afghanistan, Cuba and Venezuela. However, the term has been applied to other countries, as well as to the United States itself.
