How do the governments and economies of foreign nations influence and affect the United States?

Answer 1

i'm Canadian not American but i'll give this a shot

the US is heavily dependent on trade with other countries. they export many goods (such as oil) to make a fortune and to pay off debts, as well as to import things (like chocolate) to keep their own economy afloat. if the economy of a major trading partner is suffering, then the US will benefit if they import things from there as they'll be able to buy them for cheaper but they'll suffer if they export things as that country is less likely to be able to buy things for a higher price
