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.

Several U.S. presidents have raised tariffs throughout history, notably during times of economic distress or to protect domestic industries. President Herbert Hoover signed the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act in 1930, which significantly raised tariffs on many imported goods. More recently, President Donald Trump implemented tariffs on steel and aluminum imports in 2018, citing national security concerns and the need to protect American jobs. Other presidents, such as William McKinley and Franklin Pierce, also raised tariffs during their administrations for various economic reasons.
