Marketing Homework Help 600-700 words (apa format)

During the past two decades, we have seen companies who had seemingly solid contracts to conduct businesses in a country have had their contract obligations seemingly reworked in order to give more favorable terms to the host country. Russia and Chevron had a joint pipe line venture in which Russia reworked the contract. Kuwait pulled out of a financing deal with Dow Chemical to purchase a specialty chemical company. Venezuela attempted to nationalize the oil industry which includes US companies. Currently, there are other South American countries who are looking at what Venezuela has done in the past and considering the “taking” of American properties for their own use and profit (with no purchase of said properties). What is this saying about the climate of concern for American businesses in terms of whether they should continue global business relationships in certain countries or should they rethink their global strategy?
