Question

the united states uses government regulations, such as tariffs, embargoes, and import quotas, to limit the import of goods and services and to protect u.s. industries against foreign competition. ________ is the use of these regulations.
a) domestic protectionism
b) blocking
c) trade protectionism
d) dumping
e) export protectionism

Explanation:

Trade protectionism involves using measures like tariffs, embargoes, and import quotas by a country to limit imports and safeguard domestic industries from foreign competition. Domestic protectionism focuses more on internal policies rather than trade - related ones. Blocking is a more general term not specific to trade. Dumping is about selling goods at a lower price in a foreign market. Export protectionism would be about protecting exports which is not the case here.

Answer:

c) Trade protectionism
