increased tariffs
High U.S. tariffs during the 1920s, particularly the Fordney-McCumber Tariff of 1922, aimed to protect domestic industries by making imported goods more expensive. While this initially boosted American manufacturing and employment, it also led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries, which hindered international trade. The resulting trade imbalances contributed to economic isolationism and may have exacerbated the economic downturn that followed, culminating in the Great Depression. Ultimately, the high tariffs created a fragile economic environment reliant on domestic consumption.
Tariffs are not that high in the USA during the 1920s. European countries had high tariffs as well, definitely compared to the pre-WW1 period, but this was mostly because of problems reestablishing the gold standard

increased tariffs
In the 1920s, the United States implemented the Fordney-McCumber Tariff Act of 1922, which raised tariffs on a wide range of imported goods to protect American industries. This act aimed to stimulate domestic production and safeguard American jobs by making foreign products more expensive for consumers. The high tariffs imposed during this period contributed to a decline in international trade and strained relationships with trading partners.
At the beginning of the 1920s, tariffs were raised primarily due to the passage of the Fordney-McCumber Tariff Act of 1922, which aimed to protect American industries from foreign competition. The act significantly increased duties on imported goods, reflecting a broader trend of protectionism during this period. The intention was to boost domestic production and shield American jobs, especially following the economic disruptions of World War I. However, these high tariffs also contributed to tensions in international trade relations.

isolationism and laissez-faire business policy
