international trades. My report will be including several things, which
i now intend to write down so you guys can help me out giving me useful
information. I'm a college student so my knowledge on these subjects is
very limited so i need as much help as i can get.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Well, here it goes:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-
Which are USA's greatest needs in terms of imports?? Which things do
they import the most and who are the suppliers (the countries)??&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Which are USA's main exports?? To which markets to these exports arrive? Who are the main customers of these imports?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-
I need to write down the commercial links between the US and the
following countries. Which would you say are the greatest
dependencies?? How vulnerable and sensitive are these relationships?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The list of countries is: &lt;br&gt;Brasil&lt;br&gt;France&lt;br&gt;Japan&lt;br&gt;China&lt;br&gt;Egypt&lt;br&gt;South Africa&lt;br&gt;Indonesia&lt;br&gt;Mexico&lt;br&gt;Mozambique&lt;br&gt;Spain&lt;br&gt;Nigeria&lt;br&gt;Peru&lt;br&gt;Vietnam&lt;br&gt;Thailand&lt;br&gt;Australia&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I need the links and how dependant are the relations with all of these countries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;-
Which are the USA's main political restrictions when it comes down to
international trading? (i.e. which are the protectionist groups in the
US)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- Five possible important negotiations that the US could achieve with any of these countries.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;- A brief description of the strategies used in order to accomplish these negotations and achieve the commercial goal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I
know this is a lot of work but for well informed people like you there
shouldn't be so much problems on questions that are pretty
straightforward and not that complex or deep.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you very much,&lt;br&gt;Anibal&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
