Tariffs
Tariffs are taxes imposed by a government on imported goods, making them more expensive for domestic consumers and businesses. They are used as a policy tool to protect domestic industries, address trade imbalances, or apply economic pressure on other countries.
Why it’s in the news: They are in the news now due to an imminent threat of steep new U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods, which has triggered urgent negotiations and a temporary pause.
