It is common to find different countries establishing trade restrictions with foreign
countries. This occurrence falls under the features of trade wars. In most cases, trade restrictions
are meant to prevent a foreign country from gaining too much influence or power that may
threaten the state where the products are exported. The USA has limited the export of some
commodities due to the risks that may arise as a result of foreign countries acquiring these goods
and services. The rise of the digital age has influenced more restrictions on the items exported by
many companies that use technology to offer their services. Nowadays, the US government
ensures the control of exporting sensitive equipment, software, and technology. These
restrictionsare placed by the government to strengthen national security and also adhere to the
foreign trade policy objectives. The US government is well aware that if exports are not
controlled, they may end up exposing their information systems and thus weakening the national
security.
Policy issues
The shoe company is US-based and therefore it is bound to follow the US laws and
policies regarding the export of software, equipment and any other sensitive information.
Therefore, the plan to launch cloud-based computing to serve international customers of the
company poses a lot of policy issues. The most significant policy issue is the assurance of
privacy and security of the cloud computing system. Despite the fact that cloud computing is one
of the most significant technological advancements that have been made in the 21 st century, it
poses a lot of challenges for any company that is planning on its implantation. Cloud computing
