I chose to research and discuss how the U.S. and Japan was affected in aspects of the trade of imports amongst each other. I feel it very fascinating that the United States is very dependent on the materials that Japan has and always I guess have had. The U.S. in some ways benefited from this disaster such as, the rise in American made cars being one. With Japan rebuilding from the damage, many of the major companies like Toyota, Honda and Nissan either had to shut down or be forced to cut back on their production. Which gave the American car companies a way to increase the plummeted job market in the U.S. as well as increasing the revenue of American made cars.

There have been some benefits for the U.S. and then again it has also been some downfalls and losses from food and technology exports from Japan to the U.S. Bringing me to my argument that the U.S. and will still strive as a country without any raw materials being imported or exported from Japan. That the U.S. has the means and know how to obtain the things this country needs through other resources that is not openly spoken about.
