The correct answer is A. The statement that best exemplifies the current United States foreign policy of promoting democratic values abroad is "the United States government arguing for change in freedom of speech laws in a country where freedom of speech is restricted".
Explanation:
Throughout its history, the United States has been a strong guarantor of democracy and freedom around the globe. From direct action, as military interventions in countries with dictatorial governments -Irak, Libya, among others-, passing through economic dissuasion policies such as embargos -Cuba or the current case of Venezuela-, until the pacific diffusion of democratic ideals, America has within its idiosyncrasy the virtue of being a defender of freedom. Then, its foreign policy points in that direction, promoting these ideals.
