An embargo is a governmental restriction or prohibition on trade or commerce with another country. It involves temporarily blocking or limiting the exchange of goods, services, or resources between the two nations. Embargoes are usually imposed to express disapproval, apply pressure, or address specific issues like political disputes or human rights concerns.
The purpose is to influence the targeted country’s actions or policies. During an embargo, certain items may be banned from import or export until the situation is resolved or conditions are met to lift the restriction.
