The United States refuses to buy a country's products unless it ends a weapons development program.
What tool of foreign policy is this an example of?
 
A. Military intervention
B. Alliances
C. Economic action
D. Diplomacy

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

C. Economic action.

Economic action is the planned use of economic measures meant to influence the policies or actions of another state, as to impair the war-making potential of a hostile power or to generate economic stability within a friendly power. In this example, the economic measure (to refuse a certain trade agreement) points to weaken the war power of another country.
