Does the U.S. have any embargoes and/or sanctions against it from other countries?
Plenty of countries have sanctions or embargoes of some kind up. Please note this is just a very brief list, with no lengthy explanations: The EU (25 countries in total) is currently looking at removing trade sanctions they currently have on the US due to American laws which hinders the fairness of trading with other countries. The sanctions have been in place for nearly 5 years on nearly $US4 billion of products. Syria has strict sanctions up on the American interests in Syria, as a response to “Washington’s policy in the region and its unlimited support and bias for Israeli policies and practices and to the Syria Accountability Act.”. http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/06/19/syria.us.ap/ The US has often been called before the World Trade Organisation due to unfair trade conditions it imposes, and more often than not the WTO has ruled against the US – in 2004 this happened with the EU, Canadian Wheat and Timber and a very interesting case with Brazil and other developing countries.
