  • Foreigners that only spend money in the US increase US exports, increasing net exports also

b. Your parents go on a trip to Japan in late March for the Cherry Blossom season.

  • Americans spending money on other countries increase US imports, decreasing net exports also

c. A Canadian buys a new Ford. Your aunt buys a novel by a British author from a local bookstore.
