B) Supplying the new country of Israel with nuclear weapons to deter the Soviets from also invading the neighboring country of Kuwait. C) Convincing Iraq, Syria, and Egypt to join the United Nations, which convinced the Soviets to limit their invasion plans for the Middle East and gave the United States a role in the new UN member nations.

Minisculea, a small nation that exists on a Pacific Ocean island, is a major producer and seller of a substance known as XYZ. Minisculea is also the leader of a cartel of other XYZ producers. The cartel has raised XYZ prices, a fact of significant concern to the United States, given the many strategic uses to which XYZ can be put. U.S. officials have engaged in ongoing discussions with Minisculea about this subject. If Minisculea and the other cartel members are sued in a U.S. court for allegedly violating the U.S. antitrust acts by fixing the price at which they sold XYZ to U.S. customers, their best defense would be: Group of answer choices a) the sovereign compulsion doctrine. b) the state action doctrine. c) the doctrine of sovereign immunity. d) the act of state doctrine.
