Asked by Maya

I don't understand what this means:

"In return, the United States gave most favored nation trading status to Britain, and acquiesced in British anti-French maritime policies."

(above is what usa settled w/ uk on in Jays treaty)

I looked up the words, but the text doesn't make sense to me

The U.S. gave Britain many trading advantages. It agreed to help Britain carry out its anti-French shipping policies.
