Question

a negative result of high tariffs is that they can sometimes lead to

• economic sanctions.
• reduced international trade.
• ongoing civil war.
• increased competition.

Explanation:

Tariffs are taxes on imported goods. High tariffs make imported goods more expensive. This discourages other countries from exporting to the country with high tariffs. As a result, international trade between the countries involved is reduced. Economic sanctions are broader measures (not directly caused by tariffs alone). Ongoing civil war is unrelated to tariffs. Increased competition is not a negative result of high tariffs (high tariffs protect domestic industries reducing foreign competition).

Answer:

reduced international trade.
