International Trade Practice Exam
International Trade is the exchange of goods and services between countries. It allows nations to buy products they do not produce themselves and sell what they produce in excess. For example, one country may export cars while importing food items. This global exchange helps improve economies, create jobs, and give people access to a variety of products.
In simple terms, International Trade is like countries doing business with each other. It connects markets worldwide, making it possible for us to enjoy products like smartphones, coffee, or clothes that may have been made in another part of the world.
