The problems that U.S. experienced with Spain was that Spanish officials closed the lower Mississippi river to U.S. Shipping also that Spain broke off the negotiations. The problem the U.S. experienced with Great Britain was that the Britain's forced American merchants to pay high tariff which is taxes on imports or exports.

America found it difficult to force Britain to turn over their forts on the American side of the Great Lakes. Britain also closed many of its ports to American ships, making trading difficult. Britain also forced American merchants to pay tariffs. Meanwhile, Spain closed the lower Mississippi River to American shipping.
