Trade stoppage (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

embargo

'trade stoppage' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for embargo that I've seen before include "Ban on commerce - mob rage (anag)" , "Trading restriction" , "Government order imposing a trade barrier" , "Order intended to prevent trade" , "Ban or restraint on trade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
