How would high tariffs hurt America?

Tariffs bring in revenue, which the US always seems to want more of. However, there is a point of diminishing returns regarding revenue. If the tariff is too high, it may reduce the amount of trade and actually produce less revenue. Tariffs make foreign goods more expensive. Higher prices on foreign goods make domestic goods more competitive and can benefit domestic producers. Tariffs may reduce the inflow of foreign goods and improve the balance of trade.
