What does it mean to impose a tariff?
Imposing high tariffs on a country means that higher duties are being imposed on goods imported from that country. It has a direct impact on the prices of products, international trade and mutual relations between two countries. When the US or any other country imposes high tariffs on a particular country, the products coming from that country become expensive. This increases the costs of importing companies, the burden of which often falls on consumers as well.
Usually the step to increase tariffs is taken to create trade pressure, to protect domestic industries or for strategic reasons. Sometimes its objective is also to force the other country to change its trade policies. Imposing higher tariffs may provide relief to the domestic industry in the short run, but in the long run, trade may become costly, inflation and global tensions may increase.
