Question

question 16 (multiple choice worth 3 points) (01.08r mc) which of the following would be a reason for the united states to institute an embargo against a nation? the nations government promotes terrorist activities. the nation experiences a natural disaster and needs supplies. the nation bans certain u.s. products because of chemicals. the nation does not want to trade with the united states.

Explanation:

Embargoes are often used as a political - economic tool. A nation promoting terrorist activities is a threat to the security of the United States, which may lead to an embargo. Natural disasters call for aid, not embargo. A nation banning U.S. products due to chemicals is a trade - regulation issue, not an embargo - triggering event. A nation not wanting to trade is its own decision, not a reason for the U.S. to impose an embargo.

Answer:

The nation's government promotes terrorist activities.
