Interference with the internal policies of foreign governments
There is a long list of policies on which the US Government is pressuring foreign countries in order to achieve a universal legislation. This deserves its place on this page, as soft pressure can be just as significant as an all-out blockade or war. Please expand it as appropriate — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.62.99.129 (talk) 16:49, 15 January 2019 (UTC)

Reorganization
I believe that the article as it stands deviates from WP:SUMMARY and also needs work regarding WP:PROSE, WP:EXAMPLES, and WP:OVERQUOTING. The page's size can be significantly reduced by converting lists to prose, removing excess examples, summarizing quotes, and removing outdated statistics, and I believe that this would allow for a more concise summary of the subject (especially since much of this information is covered on more specific articles as per WP:SUMMARY). The structure also leaves something to be desired, with related subjects tacked on as separate sections, and I would like to consolidate these based on policy area. The only sections that I think should be significantly reduced are the section on the 21st century (which focuses disproportionately on 2017) and "non-participation in multi-lateral agreements" (I argue that a list of things not done is undue and indiscriminate); both of these sections should probably be reduced to a single sentence at most.

 * If there are no objections, I'm going to begin restoring some of the additions to the article. Thebiguglyalien (talk) 05:02, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I would strongly object to mass deletions of reliably sourced materials as was done before, at least not without consensus here. It went way beyond just a cleanup.--C.J. Griffin (talk) 05:19, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

I've restored my additions and some of my formatting changes. There are still massive cleanup issues that need to be addressed in the article and some sections probably need rewrites, but for the moment I've simply marked some of the more immediate issues with templates.
