PLEASE THIS IS DUE TODAY I REALLY NEED HELP! IT WOULD MEAN A LOT
1.) How can international trade be considered a facet of foreign relations between nations?
2.) What means does the American government have of utilizing international trade to influence foreign relations with other nations?

If there is a point on which most economists agree, it is that trade among nations makes the world better off. Yet international trade can be one of the most contentious of political issues, both domestically and between governments.

When a firm or an individual buys a good or a service produced more cheaply abroad, living standards in both countries increase. There are other reasons consumers and firms buy abroad that also make them better off—the product may better fit their needs than similar domestic offerings or it may not be available domestically. In any case, the foreign producer also benefits by making more sales than it could selling solely in its own market and by earning foreign exchange (currency) that can be used by itself or others in the country to purchase foreign-made products.

i believe it would be capitalism
