High tariffs can damage the U.S. economy by increasing the cost of imported goods, leading to higher prices for consumers and reduced purchasing power. This can result in decreased consumer spending, which negatively impacts domestic businesses reliant on consumer demand. Additionally, high tariffs can provoke retaliatory measures from other countries, harming U.S. exports and further stifling economic growth. Overall, such tariffs can disrupt global trade relationships and limit market competition.
