International Trade

International trade is when people and businesses in different countries buy and sell things to each other. For example, if a business in America wants to buy a product, they can buy it from a business in another country like China. The business in America would pay money to the business in China and the business in China would ship the product to the business in America. This type of trade is beneficial to all because it helps both countries get what they need.
