Trade deals were made between the United States and India, making India the largest trading partner with the United States.
The article relates to our in-class discussions on free trade and the WTO.  Free trade is an ongoing current event and it’s important that we remain informed.  This also relates to the films that we have been watching over the past two weeks in regards to trade and how it affects other countries.

On top of the stock market dropping 9.6% in a week, the tourism in Japan has dropped significantly, which is something that the economy relies on; this could also affect the 2020 Summer Olympics.
I believe that Japan’s economy being so drastically affected by the coronavirus will affect us globally because Japan is considered one of the global superpowers. Their economy could easily affect our economy and our stock market because our economies are interconnected with one another.

This was a win for both sides, however the Taliban found it to be more of a win for them because they will be able to govern themselves without US interference.  This society is very resistant to Western Globalization; they are still very in touch with their culture and the US has not been able to influence the Middle-East as much as we would have liked.

Many companies are slowing down and so many people have lost their jobs due to this pandemic. 
This article relates to globalization in the sense that the US economy affects other nation's economies as well. Our economy revolves around global businesses and with the stock market actually shutting down multiple times, that can be bad for our country and other countries as well. ]]> 2020-03-09 05:48:23 UTC https://padlet.com/sarah_valdes295/6oh1i46lrby5/wish/456674537
