congress wants to pass a law that defines and outlaws noise pollution.
several border patrol agents are attacked at the canadian border, and troops must be sent for support.
saudi arabia threatens to raise the price of oil that is exported to the united states.

Explanation:

The role of the president as chief diplomat involves handling foreign - relations. When Saudi Arabia threatens to raise oil prices (a foreign - policy issue), the president would act as chief diplomat. Declaring war is a power of Congress. Passing a law about noise pollution is a legislative matter. Sending troops for support at the border is more related to military and security aspects rather than diplomatic ones.

Answer:

Saudi Arabia threatens to raise the price of oil that is exported to the United States.
