Tariffs are imposed in an attempt to protect ones economy. America would have imposed tariffs on foreign goods in order to encourage American companies and consumers to puchase products and services which were American owned and operated. This was done due to the belief that taxing foreign goods would stimulate and help protect American jobs and ultimately the American economy. It has now been proven that protectionism and the use of tariffs are not helpful but instead hugely damaging to both the economy imposing and also the economy exposed to trade tariffs, hense the existence of the E.U free trade area and agreements.
