As the nations of the world become more closely entwined, it becomes difficult for the U.S. to maintain a "free hand" in foreign policy, or to anticipate and plan for events, even within its own borders. For example, when East Asian countries experienced a major financial crisis in the late 1990s, pork farmers in Iowa felt the pinch because these countries could not buy their product. They actually lobbied their conservative representatives to provide more aid to the International Monetary Fund, and thus relieve the situation.
