Answer to Question 1

The U.S., in line with mandates of the GATT and the WTO, has a policy that opposes government-mandated countertrade. The U.S. government only interferes in the case of firms that operate with U.S. government financing or for firms that have contracts with the U.S. government. However, the U.S. government does not deter firms from engaging in countertrade with private parties. Furthermore, the U.S. government supports countertrade for the sale of weapons, aircraft, and agricultural surplus.

Answer to Question 2
