A tariff is like a tax bill that is sent to a foreign country

Society has certain rules, and say if Mexico says that they are fine with migrants cutting through there back yards so that they can illegealy break into The United States, then shame on many people including Mexico for not helping to protect its neighbors border.



When Other countries are taxed then the cost of American made products look alot more attractive to buy...So basicly by threatening to charge other countries a tariff Trump is saying 'foreign countries do not want to help defend the U.S.A. however foreign countries do enjoy taking advantage of the free market trade that The U.S.A. has...they want the milk from the cow, but they do not want to help the cow find food to eat' Since foreginers will not be fair then we will pentalise thoes countries for mis-behaving!



Certain people try to keep goverment noses out of the market place. When the goverment is kept out of the market (for example if the gov. is not allowed to close down your business). The market place succeds when everyone is allowed to compete, however there is a reason why America has such a strong economy, its because America follows the rules. If a country does not want to follow the same rules that makes Americas economy strong, then they are cheating...which is another violation of the rules.
