What problems could develop if the us became too dependent on other nations for goods and services

TRADE DEFICIT

FOREIGN CURRENCY RESERVE DEPLETION

LOCAL CURRENCY DEVALUATION

RECESSION

POTENTIAL UNEMPLOYMENT

Explanation:

The problem that could develop if the U.S. became too dependent on other nations for goods and services are:

1. Trade deficit because when a country imports more than it exports it runs a trade deficit.

2. Foreign Currency Reserve Depletion: If the U.S. has to import so much from other countries, it will need to increase its foreign reserve because that is how it will pay for such imports. Otherwise the foreign reserve will be hugely depleted

3. Local Currency Devaluation. Reliance on exports can devalue the worth of the local currency because the demand of the foreign currency will be high in relation to local currency and people will be willing to pay more to get foreign currency, which will devalue the local currency

4. Recession: If the United States is reliant on OPEC countries for Oil and an embargo is placed on oil export from those, the U.S. will suffer a recession.

5. Potential Unemployment: Imports of finished goods will cripple local industries who will be forced to compete with the international firms whose goods and services are being imported; and those employed in such industries might loose their jobs, if the small local enterprises are unable to survive such competition.
