Tariff War
A tariff war, also known as a trade war, is a situation in which countries impose tariffs (taxes or duties) on each other's goods and services in an effort to protect their own economies or to retaliate against perceived unfair trade practices. The idea behind tariffs is to make imported goods more expensive, thereby encouraging consumers to buy domestic products.

This article explores the nature of tariff wars, their causes, effects, and notable examples in recent history.
