In 1932, U.S. manufacturers, which used to enjoy steady relationships with their foreign distributors and export nearly 60% of their output, realized that their exports had fallen to only 20% of total output. Which of the following is the most likely reason for this decrease in exports? O The low quality of U.S. products O war between the United States and Canada O Retaliatory tariffs by trading partners The signing of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in 1947 resulted in the adoption of several new trade policies. In the following table, indicate if each of the policies listed was a result of GATT. Then, complete the last column by identifying the means by which each GATT policy was implemented.
