Hello!
I am reading an academic thesis, and the author consistently uses the abbreviation "U.S." to denote the United States. My question is, is it correct to add a comma after the full stop, as in:
"Mao was against Khrushchev’s ‘peaceful coexistence’ with the U.S., and this contributed to the problematic relationship between China and the Soviet Union."
Furthermore, the same author uses a full stop to end a sentence after having used a full stop in "the U.S."! Is this correct usage/punctuation?
"Propaganda has not been understood in the negative sense that it has in Europe and the U.S.."
Many thanks in advance,
Elinor
