+ Foreign Trade U.S. Trading with other Countries

+ International Trade It is the exchange of materials between countries The U.S. trades to other countries and we let other countries sell products to American consumers The U.S. tried to keep a favorable balance of trade, which means more sold to other countries than what is brought in from other countries Is this true of the United States?? ?Do we sell more than we bring in??

+ Trade Surplus vs. Trade Deficit More exports than imports Economic activity in the U.S. increases New jobs are created as businesses grow to meet consumer demands Amount exported is less than the amount imported Jobs are lost as economic activity slows down During the 1990s we were buying more foreign goods than people in other countries were buying American goods This continues today because we import more goods than we export

+ Trade Sanctions vs. Trade Embargos Limits the amount of goods a country may send into the United States Sanctions are used for many reasons Punishment for actions against another country Countries that violate human rights An embargo stops trade with a country The U.S. might impose an embargo for political reasons The U.S. has had trade embargos on countries such as Cuba, Iraq, and North Korea
