    Plenty of countries have sanctions or embargoes of some kind up.

    Please note this is just a very brief list, with no lengthy explanations:

    The EU (25 countries in total) is currently looking at removing trade sanctions they currently have on the US due to American laws which hinders the fairness of trading with other countries. The sanctions have been in place for nearly 5 years on nearly $US4 billion of products.

    Syria has strict sanctions up on the American interests in Syria, as a response to "Washington's policy in the region and its unlimited support and bias for Israeli policies and practices and to the Syria Accountability Act.".

    The US has often been called before the World Trade Organisation due to unfair trade conditions it imposes, and more often than not the WTO has ruled against the US - in 2004 this happened with the EU, Canadian Wheat and Timber and a very interesting case with Brazil and other developing countries. As a result of several of these rulings trade sanctions have been imposed against the US.

    Then there are countries that have limits on US ships/planes visiting areas (such as New Zealand - no ships with nuclear capabilities are allowed in New Zealand waters. The US will neither confirm nor deny if a ship has these capabilities, so US ships may not enter New Zealand waters). Forgive me if wrong, but my English is not perfect and in my native language, this kind of action is counted as an embargo, though I am not sure if my embargo translates to your embargo!

    This is just a very brief list as I said - pehaps some other can build on it?
