Which of these is not a tool the united states uses as part of its economic foreign policy? a. military action against competitors b. negotiating or joining trade agreements c. providing foreign aid to struggling countries d. using sanctions to restrict trade

A. Military action against competitors

Explanation:

The United States use numerous different methods when it comes to their foreign economic policies. In order to protect their own interest, the United Nations often enter into negotiations and trade agreements with pretty much all countries of economic interest. In order to have a benefit in the future, the United States tend to provide aid to the poor countries so that they can develop, thus contributing to their economic interest as well. If a nation is seen as a competitor, one of the most common methods used is to put on economic sanctions, thus limit and damage that country. The military actions because of economic reasons are not official, so we can not say that the United States uses its military for this purpose officially. On the other hand, it is clear to most people that in practice the case is that the military is actually very often used for this purpose, just that the official reasons are often something much different.
