As in, enforcing US sanctions against their competitors?
1 comments

The US Navy does not enforce sanctions against economic competitors. It may be involved in enforcing sanctions against military threats, like North Korea and Iran, but even then, not really.

The US Navy defends the interests of the US largely by defending allies and promoting rules-based order. This is constantly the norm, day in day out, around the world. You see it in Panama Canal, Suez, especially the Gulf.
