Question 14 • * HSA 26-27 US Government

A negative result of high tariffs is that they can sometimes lead to

Answer
A
economic sanctions.
B
reduced international trade.
C
ongoing civil war.
D
increased competition.

Explanation

High tariffs make imported goods more expensive, so consumers and businesses often buy fewer goods from other countries. This reduces the amount of international trade, making “reduced international trade” the correct choice. Tariffs may also provoke disputes, but economic sanctions and civil war are not the direct, typical result described here.
