What if international trade ended today?

international trade



If we no longer had international trade what would the United States have to do without? We purchase many things from other countries but is there any product we could not manufacture ourselves? Something this country would be in dire straights over.

    this depends. would that end our trading american jobs away to illegal mexicans and overseas indians?
    as far as a product we could not manufacture ourselves, we’re doing a damn fine job of producing mexicans right here within our border anyway.

    For goods and services many people would starve because their home nations are forced to the toilet every single nation depends on other countries.
    The entire world would go straight to produce enough food from other countries.
    The economy of the toilet every single nation depends on other nations for goods and services many people would go straight to buy food from other nations.
