Why do countries put trade restrictions on foreign imports?

According to EconomicsInteractive.com, voluntary export restrictions emerge when one government threatens foreign governments or industries with import barriers unless they restrict exports. These restrictions are only voluntary in the sense that you voluntarily give up your money when a robber has a gun pointed at your head. This is also referred to as Voluntary Export Restraints or VERs. Visit this Web site to learn more: http://internationalecon.com/v1.0/ch10/10c070.html.


When did the greatest drop in british imports occur?

The greatest drop in British imports occurred during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Due to lockdowns and global supply chain disruptions, the UK saw a significant decline in imports, particularly in sectors like textiles, machinery, and vehicles. The impact was most pronounced in April 2020, when imports fell sharply compared to previous years. This decline reflected both reduced demand and restrictions on international trade.

Is OPEC very influential in the world?

Yes, OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) wields significant influence in the global oil market due to its ability to set production levels and influence oil prices. As a coalition of major oil-producing nations, OPEC can stabilize or destabilize markets by coordinating output among its members. Its decisions can impact economies worldwide, particularly those heavily reliant on oil imports or exports. However, the rise of alternative energy sources and non-OPEC oil production has somewhat diminished its influence in recent years.

Has the percentage of energy imported to the United States increased or decreased over the last fifty years?

Increased. In 1950, 8.4% of the total volume of crude oil consumption in the United States was imported. Imports as a percentage of the total consumption peaked at 66.6% in 2006, and have declined since to 56.9% in 2012. Note that in my calculations using the U.S. Energy Information Administration raw data, Consumption = Production - Exports + Net Imports. See also the related link for the EIA generated graph. Imports of coal, natural gas, and other forms of energy into the U.S. are considered negligable during this time period.


Why should Americans care about economic situation outside of your country?

Because the United States economy is tied with economies from all around the world and it's been like that for many, many years. The United States relies on imports from other countries; if other countries produce less, we get less, and our prices go up. We also rely heavily on other countries for our exports; if other countries buy less, we sell less, and make less money to invest in imports.
