Question

Which of these is not a tool the United States uses as part of its economic foreign policy?

Military action against competitors
Negotiating or joining trade agreements
Providing foreign aid to struggling countries
Using sanctions to restrict trade

Answer 1

Military action against competitors.

Trade agreements, foreign aid, and sanctions are standard economic tools the U.S. uses to influence other countries; military action is a security/defense tool rather than a routine instrument of economic foreign policy.
