Hi there

I am planning a report on the role of USA in the 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.

Well, here it goes:

- Which are USA's greatest needs in terms of imports?? Which things do they import the most and who are the suppliers (the countries)??

- Which are USA's main exports?? To which markets to these exports arrive? Who are the main customers of these imports?

- 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?

The list of countries is:
Brasil
France
Japan
China
Egypt
South Africa
Indonesia
Mexico
Mozambique
Spain
Nigeria
Peru
Vietnam
Thailand
Australia

I need the links and how dependant are the relations with all of these countries.

- 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)

- Five possible important negotiations that the US could achieve with any of these countries.

- A brief description of the strategies used in order to accomplish these negotations and achieve the commercial goal.

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.

Thank you very much,
Anibal
