Answer:
Traders were not bound to trade with the Byzantine Empire.
Explanation:
During the rule of Justinian, the Empire main goal was to restore the glory of the Roman Empire. Byzantine Empire started taking territories in the west, which once were under the Roman Empire. Justinian first sent troops to North Africa to reclaim Roman lands there. Trade merchants from around the world travelled to the empire's capital Constantinople. Goods from the Middle East, Africa, India, and China transported.
With the rise of the Muslim Empire, northern Africa came under their control. In 711, the Umayyad caliphate invaded Europe, and by 720 Spain and Portugal were under Muslim rule. Traders focused on selling their trade in these regions as the Byzantine Empire began to crumble as its neighbouring empires began to grow stronger.

Answer:
Keep fighting - advantage: the U.S. army had the upper hand in the war by the time Truman became president, and it was likely that military Japan for defeat would be only a matter of time (even if very costly if both money and lives).
Disadvantage - before considering (and making) the atomic bomb, defeating Japan required a full invasion of the Japanese archipelago, which would have been very costly, because the Japanese, even in face of defeat, would fight fiercely and defend each island. They would not surrender by any means.
Talk to the Japanese - advantage: holding negotiation talks with the Japanese would be less costly for American taxpayers, and result in less American deaths than invading Japan.
Disadvantage - the Japanese did not trust the Americans and viceversa, and the talks could have gone nowhere, allowing Japan to rebuild some forces, and counterattack.
