Answer 1

B

Domestic and foreign policy decisions often have effects both at home and abroad — a single government decision can shape national conditions and international relations. For example, trade tariffs (a domestic economic policy) affect U.S. industries and foreign exporters, and sanctions (a foreign-policy tool) impact U.S. companies that do business with targeted countries.
