In this video, we break down tariffs in the simplest way possible, explaining what tariffs are, the types of tariffs, and why governments impose tariffs. We’ll explore the pros and cons of tariffs, whether they truly protect local businesses or just end up hurting consumers and the economy, and whether tariffs actually work as intended.
